Abstract
Patients with recurrent Cushing''s syndrome after bilateral adrenalectomy should have an adrenal scan prior to any attempt at repeat laparotomy. In those patients with a localized remnant on the adrenal scan and no evidence of a tumor of the pituitary gland, unilateral exploratory laparotomy should be considered for removal of the remnant. In the series of 5 patients fulfilling the aforementioned criteria, attempts at terminating the recurrence of Cushing''s syndrome were successful.
