[Laparoscopic interventions for adrenal gland tumor]

Area of Science:

• Endocrinology
• Surgical Oncology
• Minimally Invasive Surgery

Context:

• Suprarenal gland tumors present diverse clinical courses and hormonal characteristics.
• Surgical management of adrenal diseases requires effective and minimally invasive techniques.
• Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) is an emerging endoscopic intervention for adrenal pathology.

Purpose:

• To evaluate the clinical course, hormonal profiles, and rehabilitation efficacy in patients undergoing laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) for suprarenal gland tumors.
• To analyze the indications, contraindications, and overall role of LA in the surgical treatment of adrenal diseases.
• To assess the invasiveness, radicalism, and remote results of LA.

Summary:

• The study involved 12 patients with suprarenal gland tumors treated with LA.
• LA demonstrated adequate radicalism, quick rehabilitation, and favorable long-term outcomes.
• The procedure is characterized by low invasiveness and trauma compared to traditional surgery.
• LA is indicated for the majority of hyperplastic and tumoral adrenal gland diseases, potentially applicable to 60% of surgical cases.

Impact:

• Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) provides a safe and effective minimally invasive option for managing suprarenal gland tumors.
• The findings support the expanded use of endoscopic technology in adrenal surgery.
• LA facilitates faster patient recovery and good long-term results, improving surgical outcomes for adrenal diseases.
