title: [Laparoscopic adrenalectomy].
abstract: Laparoscopic extirpation of the suprarenal gland is considered the 'gold standard' of surgery for benign conditions, but its indication in suprarenal cancer is still controversial. In this article, we review the pros and cons of the laparoscopic approach in the different disorders that affect the adrenal gland, pheochromocytoma, cancer, partial and bilateral adrenalectomy, etc.
