title: [Primary aldosteronism--personal experience with diagnosis and surgical treatment of adenomatous forms].
abstract: Primary aldosteronism (Conn's syndrome) forms about 2% of disease in patients with arterial hypertension. Primary aldosteronism is in 50% of patients caused by aldosteron producing adenoma. Surgical treatment of these adenomas is excellent, or with complete disappearance of the disease, or with simple drug control of the symptoms after adrenalectomy. In the diagnostic process we can meet also seemingly divergent results of investigations. In these cases diagnosis usually requires the catheterization of adrenal veins with selected sampling of aldosteron level and thus determines the localisation of the tumor. Localised adenomas are indicated for surgical treatment. The best approach seems to be the abdominal transperitoneal incision with removal the whole adrenal gland. In this paper authors describe their experience with 5 patients treated at the F.D. Roosevelt Hospital in Banská Bystrica. (Tab. 1, Fig. 2, Ref. 25.)
