High-volume surgeons have best adrenalectomy outcomes

Dr. Lawrence Kim, professor of surgery at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, said after the presentation that the study showed the limitations of using administrative data.

He said that approximately "98% of the patients [in the study presented] had no comorbidities, which just does not mesh with the realities I have ever faced with adrenal patients."

The study was internally funded. Dr. Hauch reported having no financial disclosures.
