Abstract：In 2022, the American Endocrine Surgery Association published the latest guidelines for adrenal surgery, aiming at optimizing the best clinical practice of adrenal surgery. This guide integrates the latest research results related to adrenal surgery, evaluates the quality of the research evidence, gives the corresponding recommendations, and formulates a relatively grounded diagnosis and treatment guide, which is worthy of our reference. Combining with the clinical practice in our country, this paper introduces the part of Cushing’s syndrome in this guideline.
