Technique and results of laparoscopic adrenalectomy.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:Our technique of laparoscopic adrenalectomy as well as the results of this method are presented. METHODS:Transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed in 18 consecutive patients (10 right side, 8 left side) for Conn's disease (7 patients), pheochromocytoma (6 patients), Cushing's syndrome (1 patient), and large inactive adenoma (4 patients). The tumor size ranged between 1 and 8 cm (mean 4.2). One of the patients, who presented with Conn's disease and bilateral adenoma, underwent enucleation of the larger adenoma on the right side leaving the uninvolved portion of the adrenal gland intact. RESULTS:The mean operative time was below 3 h; blood loss was minimal in all cases except 2. Hypertensive crisis was not encountered in this series. The only postoperative complication seen was transient diabetes insipidus which occurred in 1 patient. Analgesics were required only on the first 2 postoperative days. Oral intake and ambulation were resumed within 24 h. Mean postoperative hospitalization was 4.6 days. CONCLUSIONS:In our hands, laparoscopic adrenalectomy proved to be associated with a low morbidity and few complications. In addition, it is one of the few procedures where laparoscopy can compete with open surgery in terms of operative time.
