Annals of surgery·2026

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Robotics
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) is the standard for adrenal disorders.
  • LA has limitations: lack of 3D vision, reduced dexterity, and poor ergonomics.
  • Robotic technology presents potential solutions to these challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current data on robotic adrenalectomy.
  • To compare robotic adrenalectomy with conventional laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
  • To outline indications, advantages, and limitations of robotic adrenalectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of robotic adrenalectomy.
  • Analysis of current data on robotic adrenalectomy.
  • Comparison of robotic and laparoscopic techniques.
