    Author: Yu XC.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1990 May; 28(5):268-71, 317. PubMed ID: 2086094.
    Abstract:
    Eight patients with Addison's disease or Cushing's syndrome received adrenal homograft following total adrenalectomy for 9 times. Microsurgical technique was used to anastomose the adrenal vessels. All patients were followed up for 1 to 5 years. Symptoms and signs were all improved although without the supplement of steroids. All grafts play satisfactory endocrinal functions in the recipients, but two patients, lost their grafts at 2 and 4 years after operation respectively. One of them underwent the second homograft and the result was good. The single perfusion and ice-storage method of the alloadrenal gland discovered by us and their clinical results were also reported in this paper.
