AB The  presence  of  cortical  or  medullary  tumors  of  either  a  malignant  or  benign  adenomatous  nature  is  a  well-established  indication  for  unilateral  adrenalectomy.  In  recent  years,  however,  the  number  of  indications  for  bilateral  adrenalectomy  has  gradually  increased.  It  is  occasionally  performed  to  control  complex  endocrine  states  after  partial  or  unilateral  adrenalectomy  has  failed  to  alleviate  hyperaldosteronism  or  hypercortisolism,  as  in  Cushing’s  syndrome.
