We are fortunate that our ability to diagnose the specific adrenal entities which mandate a surgical approach is extremely accurate. The combination of analytical methodology to measure appropriate adrenocortical and medullary hormonal production and the radiologic techniques for localization are superb. The management of these adrenal disorders with precise surgical precision following localization is highly successful, resulting in reversal of both metabolic abnormalities and the hypertension which often accompanies these diseases. With the evolution of these different techniques over the past 50 years, this is indeed a true success story.
