Why the study?
Does laparoscopic adrenalectomy improve hypertension and hypokalemia with fewer complications compared to open adrenalectomy in patients with primary hyperaldosteronism?

Laparoscopic adrenalectomy was associated with similar normotension and fewer complications; hypothesis-generating, requiring RCTs before changing practice in primary hyperaldosteronism.
