A member asked:

Is a radiofrequency ablation of a benign aldosterone-producing adenoma feasible? if not, why not just resect tumor instead of entire gland?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Resection: Only the surgeon who will do this can explain to you what should be done and why. Surgeons who work on the adrenal are almost always excellent so I would highly recommend that you follow the advice.
