title: Retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy: lateral approach.
abstract: Laparoscopy has become the essential surgical approach to the adrenal gland at many institutions, including ours. At the Cleveland Clinic, laparoscopic adrenalectomy for benign and malignant adrenal neoplasms can be performed by either the transperitoneal or the retroperitoneal approach. Herein, we present our technique of lateral retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
