title: [Experience of performance of laparoscopic adrenalectomy using lateral transabdominal approach].
abstract: In 2002-2008 yrs. in the Department of Laparoscopic Surgery and Cholelithiasis in 52 patients laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) was accomplished, performed for different diseases of suprarenal glands. Incidentaloma was diagnosed in 8, fibroma--in 4, pheokhromocytoma--in 10, aldosteroma--in 11, adrenocortical cancer--in 3, corticosteroma--in 13, suprarenal gland cyst--in 3 patients. The operation time in right-sided and left-sided LA had constituted accordingly 85 and 118 minutes. Intraoperative blood loss had constituted 60 ml at average. Hemotransfusion was not done.
