Laparoscopic surgery is the gold standard for most benign adrenal diseases, offering a less invasive approach. Open surgery remains preferred for primary adrenal cancer, while laparoscopy is cautiously used for select adrenal metastases.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Adrenal gland surgery has been revolutionized by laparoscopic techniques.
  • Laparoscopic approaches are increasingly validated for benign adrenal conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the efficacy and current status of laparoscopic adrenal surgery.
  • To establish laparoscopic surgery as the standard of care for benign adrenal disease.

Main Methods:

  • Review of worldwide literature on laparoscopic and open adrenalectomy.
  • Analysis of outcomes for various adrenal disorders treated laparoscopically.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic surgery is highly effective for aldosteroma, pheochromocytoma, Cushing's disease, and incidental adrenal masses.

  • Open surgery is still the primary treatment for adrenal cancer.
  • Laparoscopy is cautiously applied for limited adrenal metastases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the gold standard for the majority of benign adrenal surgical conditions.
    • The evidence supports widespread adoption of laparoscopy for suitable adrenal pathologies.
