Area of Science:

Surgical Oncology
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Robotic Surgery

Background:

Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the standard for adrenal tumors.
Lack of prospective randomized trials for laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
Robotic technology offers a new surgical option.

Purpose of the Study:

To review indications for robotic adrenalectomy.
To summarize advantages and disadvantages of robotic adrenalectomy.
To describe the surgical technique of robotic adrenalectomy.

Main Methods:

Literature review of robotic adrenalectomy studies.
Comparison of robotic and laparoscopic adrenalectomy techniques.
Analysis of feasibility, safety, and outcomes.

Main Results:

Robotic adrenalectomy appears feasible and safe.
High-level evidence supporting robotic adrenalectomy benefits is lacking.
Laparoscopic adrenalectomy remains the preferred standard.

Conclusions:

Robotic adrenalectomy is a viable alternative.
Further high-quality research is required to establish its superiority.
Robotic approach may be beneficial in select cases.
