Laparoscopic adrenalectomy using a lateral transperitoneal approach is a safe and effective surgical option for various adrenal conditions. This minimally invasive technique offers comparable results to traditional surgery, establishing it as the gold standard.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Endocrinology

Context:

  • Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is an established surgical procedure.
  • The lateral transperitoneal approach is a common access method.
  • Adrenal gland pathologies include Conn's syndrome, incidentaloma, pheochromocytoma, Cushing's syndrome, and metastatic disease.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic adrenalectomy with a lateral transperitoneal access.
  • To compare the results with traditional open adrenalectomy.
  • To assess the feasibility and reproducibility of the laparoscopic approach.

Summary:

  • Nineteen laparoscopic adrenalectomies were performed using a lateral transperitoneal approach for diverse adrenal pathologies.
  • Key surgical and postoperative parameters were analyzed, including hypertensive crises, hemorrhage, operative time, and recovery.
