Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) is the standard for adrenal masses up to 12 cm due to better recovery. However, its use in adrenal cancer remains controversial and requires experienced surgeons.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrine Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) is widely accepted for benign adrenal masses.
  • Controversy exists regarding LA for adrenal carcinoma, necessitating a review of current standards.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report current standards and practices for laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA).
  • To review the evidence and expert experience regarding LA for various adrenal conditions.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive PubMed search using the term "laparoscopic adrenalectomy".
  • Review of identified English and Spanish literature, including reference lists of relevant articles.
  • Incorporation of expert experience and technical nuances.

Published on: June 6, 2020

Main Results:

  • LA is the standard for adrenal tumors ≤12 cm, offering advantages in morbidity and recovery over open surgery.
  • LA is preferred for benign adrenal lesions, though evidence for malignant ones is limited.
  • The lateral transabdominal approach is common, but novel techniques are emerging.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate preoperative work-up and imaging are crucial for surgical decisions.
  • LA is established for adrenal masses ≤12 cm, but its application in adrenal cancer requires careful consideration and surgical expertise.
  • Further objective evaluation of novel approaches and outcomes in laparoscopic treatment of adrenal malignancy is needed.
