Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology

Context:

  • Laparoscopic adrenalectomy was introduced to surgical practice in Slovakia on March 3, 1996.
  • This study analyzes the initial seven patients who underwent the procedure.

Purpose:

  • To present the first experience with laparoscopic adrenalectomy in Slovakia.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this minimally invasive approach for adrenalectomy.

Summary:

  • Seven patients (five left-sided, two right-sided) underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
  • Indications included adrenal cortex adenoma (2 incidentalomas, 2 Cushing syndrome) and adrenal cortex hyperplasia (3 Conn syndrome).
  • The average operative time was 120 minutes with no postoperative complications and an average hospital stay of 5 days.

Impact:

  • Initial results are comparable to centers with over two years of experience.
  • Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is a suitable method for small adrenal tumors.
  • This approach is superior to the traditional transabdominal method for adrenalectomy.
