[Video laparoscopic adrenalectomy. The authors' personal experience].
Personal experience on two cases of laparoscopic adrenalectomy, operated, one on the right and the other on the left side, during 1996 is reported. The surgical technique, using a lateral decubitus and a transperitoneal approach is described, as well as the postoperative outcome. The laparoscopic approach to adrenal surgery seems to be "ideal", since it has a low "trauma ratio" (surgical procedure/access) with an anatomical an virtually bloodless dissection.
