title: Endoscopic Adrenalectomy Using Ultrasonic Cutting and Coagulating.
abstract: Endoscopic adrenalectomy, since its initial description in 1992 by Gagner et al. in Canada and by Higashaihara in Japan has emerged as the standard of care in the treatment of patients with benign adrenal neoplasms. It has been shown to be as effective as open surgery in treating adrenal pathology, with improvements in pain, cosmesis and duration of hospitalization.
