[Laparoscopic versus laparotomic adrenalectomy: preliminary experiences].
The authors report their experience about laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of adrenal tumours. Three laparoscopic right adrenalectomies were performed. From a comparison with five open adrenalectomies, microinvasive surgery is more advantageous than traditional management: recovery is earlier, incisions are smaller, post-operative discomfort is less, physiologic functions recover in a short time, return to full professional activity in one week.
