Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 161 patients who underwent adrenalectomy for adrenal adenomas between 2015 and 2024. Patients were categorized into low (0-1) and high (2-5) MAP score groups, and into three BMI categories (<25, 25-30, >30 kg/m²). Operative time, estimated blood loss, hospital stay, and drain removal time were compared across groups.
Results: Patients with high MAP scores had significantly longer operative times (140 vs. 100 minutes, p<0.001), greater blood loss (80 vs. 50 mL, p<0.001), longer hospital stays (8 vs. 7 days, p=0.010), and delayed drain removal (4 vs. 3 days, p<0.001). No significant differences were observed across BMI categories.
Conclusions: The MAP score is a practical preoperative tool for risk stratification in adrenalectomy, providing more reliable prediction of surgical complexity than BMI.}, number={4}, publisher={Harran University}
