Introduction: The influence of financial ties to pharmaceutical companies remains controversial. We aimed to assess a potential relationship between pharmaceutical payments and prescription patterns for degarelix and denosumab.
Materials And Methods: Medicare Provider Utilization and Payment Data: Physician and Other Supplier Public Use File (Medicare B) data containing 2012 claims compared to OpenPayments (Sunshine Act) data for the second half of 2013.
Purpose: We report a prospective, randomized comparison of transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (TLA) vs retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RLA) for adrenal lesions with long-term followup.
Materials And Methods: Between December 1997 and November 1999, 57 consecutive eligible patients with surgical adrenal disease were prospectively randomized to undergo TLA (25) or RLA (32). Study exclusion criteria were patient age greater than 80 years, body mass index greater than 40, bilateral adrenalectomy and significant prior abdominal surgery in the quadrant of interest.
