    Summary

    This study details a minimally invasive lateral extraperitoneal approach for adrenalectomy, proving effective for adrenal gland diseases. Limitations include severe obesity and large tumors, but advanced techniques enhance its applicability for adrenal surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical techniques
    • Minimally invasive surgery
    • Adrenal gland diseases

    Context:

    • Adrenalectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the adrenal gland.
    • Minimally invasive approaches are increasingly preferred for adrenalectomy.
    • The lateral extraperitoneal mini-approach offers a less invasive option.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the techniques of adrenalectomy using a lateral extraperitoneal mini-approach.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and limitations of this surgical method.
    • To explore how advanced techniques can expand the applicability of this approach.

    Summary:

    • Fourteen adrenalectomies were performed using the lateral extraperitoneal mini-approach with positive short- and long-term outcomes.
    • Key limitations identified include surgical wound depth (≥15 cm) due to morbid obesity or acute costal angle, retroperitoneal fat sclerosis, splenomegaly, and adrenal tumors >6 cm.
    • The use of an "assisting hand" and endovideoscopy were noted to broaden the method's capabilities.

    Impact:

    • This approach provides a viable minimally invasive option for adrenalectomy in specific patient populations.
    • Understanding the limitations allows for better patient selection and surgical planning.
    • Integration of advanced tools like endovideoscopy can improve outcomes and expand indications for this technique.
