Abstract
Partial adrenalectomy surgical outcomes and perioperative complications are similar to those reported for total adrenalectomy. When partial adrenalectomy is done for small adrenal lesions, the malignancy rate is negligible, the recurrence rate is low and most patients remain steroid-free at long-term followup. These data strongly support the acceptance of partial adrenalectomy as first line treatment for small adrenal masses.
