Robot-Assisted Adrenalectomy Workup and Management

Robot-assisted approach for adrenalectomy is feasible and safe. Although adrenalectomy is a purely extirpative procedure requiring no further reconstruction, wristed instruments, increased precision, and magnified three-dimensional vision may aid in dissection of large and small vessels and more precise delineation of the tumor lesion during both radical and partial adrenalectomies. These advantages may allow more surgeons, including those with limited laparoscopic experience, to offer their patients an effective and minimally invasive approach to adrenalectomy.
