[Laparoscopic interventions for adrenal gland tumor]

Clinical course, hormonal characteristics and efficacy of rehabilitation were studied by the authors in 12 patients with suprarenal gland tumor, operated, using minimally invasive endoscopic intervention--laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA). Efficacy, indications, contraindications, role of LA in the treatment of surgical adrenal diseases were analyzed. LA is characterized by invasiveness and traumaticity, adequate radicalism, quick rehabilitation, and good remote results. LA is indicated for the treatment of majority of hyperplastic and tumoral diseases of suprarenal glands: it is possible to operate 60% of patients with surgical diseases of suprarenal glands using endoscopic technology.
