Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) is a safe and feasible approach for adrenalectomy, even for the challenging adrenal gland location. This review covers LESS adrenalectomy techniques and outcomes, including robotic assistance.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic adrenal surgery is standard for adrenal tumors.
  • Interest in laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) is growing.
  • The adrenal gland's location presents anatomical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review surgical techniques and outcomes of LESS adrenalectomy.
  • To assess the feasibility and safety of LESS for adrenal gland management.
  • To provide an overview of the current role of LESS in adrenalectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of LESS adrenalectomy studies.
  • Inclusion of robot-assisted approaches.
  • Analysis of surgical techniques and patient outcomes.

Main Results:

  • LESS adrenalectomy has been shown to be safe and feasible.
  • The technique is effective despite the adrenal gland's difficult anatomy.
  • Outcomes data from various studies were analyzed.

Conclusions:

  • LESS adrenalectomy is a viable option for managing adrenal pathologies.
  • The technique offers potential benefits for patients undergoing adrenal surgery.
  • Further research can refine LESS adrenalectomy procedures.
