Intrarenal Adrenocortical Adenoma Treated by Robotic Partial Nephrectomy with Adrenalectomy

Intrarenal Adrenocortical Adenoma Treated by Robotic Partial Nephrectomy with Adrenalectomy

BACKGROUND We present an intrarenal adrenocortical adenoma discovered incidentally after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy and total adrenalectomy for a suspicious renal mass. Current literature describes the rare occurrence of an adrenocortical adenoma arising from a renal-adrenal fusion. This case represents an uncommon, benign pathology that should be considered in the differential diagnosi...

A case of adrenocortical oncocytic neoplasm treated with laparoscopic adrenalectomy

A 32-year-old woman who was followed for mammary adenoma every six months was found to have a left adrenal tumor on ultrasound examination in August 2016. She had no complaints and no abnormalities on physical examination. Blood analyses, including biochemical test and endocrinological test, were within normal values. However, 24-h urine collection showed modest elevation of catecholamines exce...

Robotic Partial Nephrectomy Using Robotic Bulldog Clamps

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The need for a skilled assistant to perform hilar clamping during robotic partial nephrectomy is a potential limitation of the technique. We describe our experience using robotic bulldog clamps applied by the console surgeon for hilar clamping. METHODS A total of 60 consecutive patients underwent robotic partial nephrectomy, 30 using laparoscopic bulldog clamps appli...

Operative Outcomes of Robotic Partial Nephrectomy: A Comparison with Conventional Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy

PURPOSE To determine the feasibility and safety of robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN), we compared the operative outcomes of patients who had undergone RPN with those of patients who had undergone laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between February 2009 and June 2010, 13 patients underwent transperitoneal RPN (group 1) and 14 patients underwent transperitoneal LPN (g...
