[Differential characteristics of open and laparoscopic adrenalectomy].
Clinical studies are based on an analysis of results of survey and surgical treatment of 147 patients with adrenal tumors who were treated from 1994 to 2009 in the RMC "Armenia" (Yerevan) and the Hospital "Tsentrosojuz", Russia (Moscow). Comparison groups were formed: I (main) - 75 patients who had undergone laparoscopic adrenalectomy, and II (control) - 72 patients operated through a "traditional" surgical approach. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is methodologically based on and effective for the surgical treatment of benign adrenal tumors up to 50 mm in diameter, as well as provides a high degree of clinical efficacy of laparoscopic adrenalectomy in comparison with the operations conducted by laparotomic access.
