abstract: The aim of the study is presentation of own remarks, related to surgical treatment of 183 patients with adrenal glands pathology in the years 1976-1996. The diagnosis was based on typical clinical symptoms and hormonal studies. The localisation of lesion was determined initially by X-ray examinations, mostly arteriography, later by ultra-sound and computer tomography, recently also by nuclear magnetic resonance and scintigraphy. The paper discusses methods of preparing the patients for surgery, tactics of surgical treatment, intra- and postoperative complications (8.2%), problem of incidentalomas.
