[Our experience in the surgical treatment of the arterial hypertension due to endocrine disturbances].

This study is trying to expose our experience in the surgical treatment for adrenal tumors which produce arterial hypertension, experience gained over a period of 25 years. There were 93 adrenalcctomies carried out for these kinds of lesions, out of a total of 125 surgical procedures on the adrenal glands. Best results were obtained for phaeochromocytomas and also for tumors that produce primary hyperaldosteronism. Real advances have been done in the field of adrenal glands diseases by diagnosis and treatment but minimal invasive surgery is best used for all adrenal lesions but phaeochromocytomas in which this approach has to be very well judged.
