Abstract:
We report a case of posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy for unilateral nodular hyperplasia in a patient with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis. Posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy appears to be a safe and valuable alternative for the treatment of the adrenal tumors in hemodialysis patients with easy tissue fragility and bleeding tendency.
