Total and partial laparoscopic adrenalectomy

[Laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy for aldosterone-producing adenoma].

Laparoscopic total and partial nephrectomy.

Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy has established its role as a standard of care for the management of renal neoplasms. Long term follow-up has demonstrated laparoscopic radical nephrectomy has shorter patient hospitalization and effective cancer control, with no significant difference in survival compared with open radical nephrectomy. For renal masses less than 4cm, partial nephrectomy is indi...

Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy

Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) was first described by Gagner et al in 1992 (Gagner et al., 1992). Since this time LA has become the procedure of choice for most adrenal pathologies. Multiple case-control studies have consistently demonstrated the benefits of LA compared to open adrenalectomy (OA) in terms of blood loss, analgesic requirments, postoperative complications, hospital stay and earl...

[Transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy].

OBJECTIVES To present our results with transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy after completion of 70 procedures. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between July 2002 and December 2010, transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed in 70 patients with the following diagnoses: Conn syndrome (22 cases), nonfunctioning adenomas (18), Cushing syndrome (10), pheochromocytomas (7), myelolipomas (4)...

Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy: Surgical Technique

Laparoscopic adrenalectomy was first described in 1992 by Gagner et al. In present this minimally invasive procedure are become “gold standard” surgical management of Cushing’s syndrome, pheochromocytoma, aldosteronoma, and adrenal incidentaloma. Benefit outcome of laparoscopic adrenalectomy are less postoperative pain, decrease postoperative morbidity, decreased hospital stay and allow patient...
