Adrenal-sparing laparoscopic surgery for aldosterone-producing adenoma

We herein present the first case in the literature of enucleation of an aldosterone-producing adenoma by laparoscopy. The indication for adrenal-sparing surgery was bilateral adrenal adenoma. The operation turned out to be easier than laparoscopic adrenalectomy. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was cured; split adrenal function tests showed normal function of both adrenal glands.
