| Article Title: | The current status of laparoscopic adrenalectomy |
| Abstract: | In this article the authors have attempted to summarize and evaluate the current literature regarding the feasibility and indications of the laparoscopic approach to the resection of adrenal lesions. The overall results suggest that laparoscopic adrenalectomy is safe, effective, and has major advantages for patients in terms of decreased pain, hospital stay, and short- and long-term morbidity. For large and malignant lesions, good judgment and careful consideration must be given to the entire clinical picture so that the laparoscopic approach is used for patients who will derive benefits from the minimally invasive approach without compromising an oncologically sound resection or safety of operation. Additional studies will help clarify these remaining controversies further. The laparoscopic approach for adrenalectomy has demonstrated that significant and beneficial advances in surgery are improving the care offered patients. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. |
