Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Laparoscopy is now considered the gold standard for treating benign monolateral adrenal lesions. We present the case of a patient affected by Cushing's syndrome due to large bilateral adrenal adenomas (7.5 cm) who underwent simultaneous laparoscopic bilateral adrenalectomy. An anterior, lateral transperitoneal approach was used. Operative time was 200 minutes, and blood loss was 200 mL. No intraoperative complications were encountered. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged after 3 days. Laparoscopic bilateral adrenalectomy is a safe, effective procedure when performed by experienced hands and may be an alternative treatment for large adrenal lesions.
