An Update on Minimally Invasive Adrenalectomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Adrenal tumors require careful clinical and biochemical evaluation with appropriate imaging to determine malignancy or functional status. Tumors that are suspicious or confirmed for malignancy or hormone-secreting require adrenalectomy. This review discusses adrenal gland anatomy, physiology, and pathology, indications for adrenalectomy, preoperative management, and an update on surgical approaches with an emphasis on minimally invasive techniques. We describe the transabdominal and retroperitoneoscopic approaches to adrenalectomy and briefly discuss extensions of minimally invasive surgery including robotic-assisted and single portadrenalectomy.

Adrenalectomy is the standard of care for hormonally active adrenal masses. In recent years, minimally invasive laparoscopic excision has become a preferred management option. As with advances in parenchymal-sparing renal surgery, investigators have begun to examine adrenal-sparing procedures to preserve functional adrenal tissue. This article reviews the recent literature and reports on interm...

When medical therapy is ineffective or does not exist for a particular adrenal disease, surgery becomes necessary. The introduction of laparoscopic adrenalectomy has revolutionized adrenal surgery and largely supplanted the open approach. In this series we introduced three cases of aldosterone producing adenoma and pheochromocytoma which underwent laparascopic adrenalectomy. To the best of ...

OBJECTIVE The authors review their experience with laparoscopic adrenalectomy in patients with benign adrenal neoplasms. Efficacy, safety, and cost effectiveness of the procedure are examined. BACKGROUND Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is replacing open adrenalectomy in some medical centers as the standard surgical approach for uncomplicated tumors. However, laparoscopic adrenalectomy often is con...
متن کاملLaparoscopic 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...
