[Potentialities of laparoscopic adrenalectomy in treatment of patients with adrenal tumors].
Experiences with laparoscopic adrenalectomies in the clinic were analyzed. The laparoscopic method was used in 47 out of 252 adrenalectomies followed by only 1 mild complication and 3 conversions. A comparison of open and laparoscopic adrenalectomies has revealed advantages of the endoscopic method with respect of tolerance of the procedure, its safety and duration of the rehabilitation period. The technique and indications to adranalectomy were analyzed. The authors emphasize the advantages of the transperitoneal approach and good perspectives of laparoscopic adrenalectomy in almost all cases of benign and non-invasive adrenal tumors.
