The lateral transperitoneal approach for laparoscopic adrenalectomy is safe and effective for removing adrenal masses. This method offers advantages like low complications and shorter hospital stays compared to other techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) offers advantages over open procedures.
  • The lateral transperitoneal approach is one technique for LA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the technique and outcomes of 50 consecutive lateral transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomies.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this approach.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 50 consecutive laparoscopic adrenalectomies using the lateral transperitoneal approach.
  • Data collected included operative time, blood loss, complications, and length of stay.

Main Results:

  • Average operative times decreased yearly.

  • Low intraoperative blood loss and minimal need for blood transfusion.
  • No conversions to open surgery; low complication rate (5 patients) and no mortality.
  • Short hospital stay (3 days for unilateral, 3.8 for bilateral).

    • Conclusions:

    • Lateral transperitoneal adrenalectomy is a safe, efficient, and versatile technique for adrenal mass removal.
    • Associated with low morbidity, minimal postoperative pain, and short hospital stays.
    • Offers advantages over the retroperitoneal approach.
