Laparoscopic adrenalectomy

M Gagner. Surg Clin North Am. 1996 Jun.

Abstract

Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has become a viable option for removal of adrenal pathology and is becoming preferred over the conventional technique. With the conventional technique, many approaches are available, which vary according to pathology, diameter of the adrenal mass, location of the lesion, and patient morphology. Knowledge of anatomy is essential, because careful hemostasis and delicate tissue handling are necessary to make adrenal surgery a success.
