Laparoscopic bilateral anterior transperitoneal adrenalectomy. 24 Years experience
Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety, advantages and surgical outcomes of laparoscopic bilateral adrenalectomy (LBA) by an anterior transperitoneal approach. Methods: From 1994 to 2018, 552 patients underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy, unilateral in 531 and bilateral in 21 patients (9 females and 12 males). All patients who underwent LBA were approached via a transperitoneal anterior route and form our study population. Indications included: Cushing’s disease (n = 11), pheochromocytoma (n = 6), Conn’s disease (n = 3) and adrenal cysts (n = 1).
