Summary

Minimally invasive endoscopic surgery is now standard for benign adrenal diseases, offering reduced morbidity and shorter hospital stays. Similar techniques are evolving for parathyroid, thyroid, and pancreatic tumors, requiring specialized expertise.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Endocrine Surgery

Background:

  • Endoscopic adrenalectomy is the standard for benign adrenal diseases, demonstrating safety, lower morbidity, and shorter hospital stays compared to open surgery.
  • Minimal invasive techniques for parathyroidectomy include fully endoscopic, videoscopic assisted, and mini-incision approaches, all requiring preoperative localization and intraoperative parathormone testing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status and evolving applications of minimally invasive endoscopic techniques in endocrine surgery.
  • To highlight the prerequisites and challenges associated with these advanced surgical approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and established practices in endoscopic adrenalectomy, parathyroidectomy, thyroidectomy, and pancreatic tumor surgery.
  • Discussion of the benefits, drawbacks, and indications for various minimally invasive endocrine surgical procedures.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic adrenalectomy is a safe and effective standard treatment.
  • Parathyroidectomy benefits from minimal invasive techniques when specific prerequisites are met.
  • Videoendoscopic assisted thyroidectomy offers enhanced visualization but has limitations in patient selection and surgeon learning curve.
  • Laparoscopic approaches for endocrine pancreatic tumors, particularly insulinomas, are becoming feasible and safe.

Conclusions:

  • Minimally invasive endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques are increasingly adopted and refined across various endocrine surgeries.
  • Successful implementation requires precise preoperative planning, intraoperative monitoring, and significant surgeon expertise.
  • These advanced techniques offer potential benefits in patient recovery and surgical outcomes.
