Adrenal autotransplantation after bilateral total adrenalectomy has be
en utilized to eliminate the need for replacement therapy and to preve
nt the late occurrence of Nelson's syndrome in some patients with Cush
ing's disease. It is possible to follow these cases up closely today,
owing to the highly developed hormonal evaluation and imaging techniqu
es. In this study, two patients who underwent bilateral total adrenale
ctomy and cortex autotransplantation are presented. The autografts wer
e found functional and the patients had not required any steroid repla
cement therapy.
