Assessment of biochemical outcomes in patients with primary aldosteronism after adrenalectomy based on CT scan diagnosis of unilateral adenoma without adrenal vein sampling

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to assess the surgical outcomes of patients with primary aldosteronism when surgery was based only on CT finding of unilateral adenoma without adrenal vein sampling (AVS).

Methods

This is a retrospective review of the records of patients who had undergone retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism based on CT scan finding of unilateral adenoma and had a follow-up of at least 6–12 months from January 2012 to December 2020 in a single center; decision for adrenalectomy was based on CT scan, and AVS was not used. The clinical and biochemical outcomes were accessed using the standardized primary aldosteronism surgical outcome (PASO) criteria. Patient’s demographics and preoperative factors were analyzed to assess
