conclusion with thorough technical knowledge and an adequate learning curve, pra could serve as the surgeon’s preferred surgical approach to the adrenal gland within the confines of its selection criteria. background since the early 1990s, endoscopic adrenalectomy has become the gold standard surgical approach for the adrenal gland. also, lateral transperitoneal adrenalectomy (lta) which is the...

Today, endoscopic adrenalectomy has become a gold standard in endocrine surgery. To minimize the morbidity and improve cosmesis, single access retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (SARA) has been developed as an alternative to traditional multiport laparoscopy and single port access (SPA) surgery, potentially exploiting even more the already proven benefits of minimally invasive surgery. We appli...

The benefits of laparoscopic adrenalectomy for single adrenal lesion have been well documented in literature; less experience though has been reported with simultaneous bilateral laparoscopic adrenalectomy. This operation is indicated in case of primary hypercortisolism caused by bilateral adrenocortical hyperfunction, Cushing's disease after failure of pituitary surgery, ectopic adrenocorticot...

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 acce...

Adrenal gland pseudocysts are not common conditions, and most of them are nonfunctional and asymptomatic. However, large pseudocysts may causes abdominal discomfort and have compressive effects on adjacent organs. They may rupture spontaneously or after trauma, and lead to retroperitoneal hemorrhage and surgical emergency. Herein, we report a case of 21-year-old female who presented with acute ...

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...

Introduction: The current standard surgical approach for benign adrenal disease is laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Both the transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approaches have been successfully used. We describe the unusual complication of delayed retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Case Description: The patient is a 62-year-old man who underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy. The patient did ...
