Subtotal adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism (Conn's syndrome) may lead to persistent hyperaldosteronism, necessitating completion adrenalectomy. Preserving adrenal tissue must be carefully weighed against treatment efficacy.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Primary aldosteronism, often caused by aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA), is typically treated with total adrenalectomy.
  • The efficacy of subtotal adrenalectomy for APA remains debated, unlike in bilateral adrenal diseases.

Observation:

  • A patient with primary aldosteronism due to APA underwent subtotal adrenalectomy.
  • Persistent hypertension, hypokalemia, and hyperaldosteronism required a subsequent completion adrenalectomy.

Findings:

  • Subtotal adrenalectomy for APA can result in persistent hyperaldosteronism.
  • Completion adrenalectomy was necessary to resolve symptoms in this case.

Implications:

  • Subtotal adrenalectomy is a potential therapeutic option for Conn's syndrome.

  • The benefits of preserving adrenal tissue must be balanced against the risk of persistent hyperaldosteronism, particularly with a healthy contralateral adrenal gland.
