Although open adrenalectomy remains the standard of care of adrenocortical carcinoma, minimally invasive surgery has become the mainstay therapy for most of the adrenal tumors. Compared to the laparoscopic approach, robotic surgery improves surgeons’ ergonomics and provides 3D visualization and endowrist articulation.

摘要

Although open adrenalectomy remains the standard of care of adrenocortical carcinoma, minimally invasive surgery has become the mainstay therapy for most of the adrenal tumors. Compared to the laparoscopic approach, robotic surgery improves surgeons’ ergonomics and provides 3D visualization and endowrist articulation. These enhanced features translate into decreased operative time, blood loss, conversion to open, and length of stay for robotic adrenalectomy when compared to laparoscopy. Therefore, we have switched to a robotic approach in our practice. Herein, we describe our routine technique for robotic lateral transabdominal adrenalectomy.
