Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy: Retroperitoneal Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has become the gold standard for removal of benign adrenal masses. Despite initial concerns about safety, a long learning curve, and unfamiliarity of anatomy from the posterior approach, the posterior retroperitoneoscopic approach is now the preferred technique at many institutions, and offers several advantages over the transperitoneal approach, including direct access to the adrenal gland, avoiding negotiating scar tissue from previous abdominal operations, and allowing for bilateral surgery without patient repositioning. This review outlines the operative technique, indications and precautions for the posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy.

متن کاملAdrenalectomy by Retroperitoneal Laparoendoscopic Single Site Surgery
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the current standard for treatment of benign adrenal disease. To reduce the invasiveness of surgery, new techniques have been recently proposed, such as mini-laparoscopy, natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, and laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS). Herein, we describe one case of adrenalectomy by retroperitoneal LESS using conventiona...

متن کاملSystematic Review of Surgical Approaches for Adrenal Tumors: Lateral Transperitoneal versus Posterior Retroperitoneal and Laparoscopic versus Robotic Adrenalectomy
Background. Laparoscopic lateral transperitoneal adrenalectomy (LTA) has been the standard method for resecting benign adrenal gland tumors. Recently, however, laparoscopic posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy (PRA) has been more popular as an alternative method. This systematic review evaluates current evidence on adrenalectomy techniques, comparing laparoscopic LTA with PRA and laparoscopi...
