Factors affecting clinical outcomes of minimally invasive adrenalectomy for unilateral primary aldosteronism: a single-center retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a prevalent cause of endocrine hypertension. While unilateral PA (UPA) is potentially curable by adrenalectomy, complete clinical success (CCS) rates vary significantly. Using international Primary Aldosteronism Surgical Outcomes (PASO) criteria, this study aimed to identify preoperative factors influencing clinical outcomes following minimally invasive adrenalectomy (MIA) for UPA to optimize postoperative management.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 206 patients who underwent MIA for UPA between January 2018 and January 2023 at our hospital. The PASO criteria were used to assess the clinical outcomes. We comparatively analyzed between-group differences and influencing factors in the CCS and incomplete clinical
