ABSTRACT
The authors employed for the first time the method of heterotopic autotransplantation of the adrenals on a vascular pedicle in patients with Itsenko-Cushing disease. It was established that heterotopic transplantation of the adrenals results early in a significant reduction of the level of cortical hormones and insignificant change as compared with initial state of the immune status. All terms were characterized by humoral and cellular immune deficit. Results indicate the expediency of using this method. Adrenal transplantation prevents the development of hypocorticism.
