Abstract
This series shows that unilateral adrenalectomy for lateralizing NAH results in eradication of hypokalemia and resolution or significant improvement in hypertension in 80% of patients at long-term follow-up. When lateralization of aldosterone production is noted, laparoscopic adrenalectomy provides significant clinical improvement even in patients with a pathologic diagnosis of NAH.
