| Popis: | (PURPOSE). To determine the efficacy of extraperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy for patients with adrenal tumor, the clinical results of 9 patients treated with this procedure were analysed. (PATIENT AND METHOD). Between July 1994 and March 1995, we have performed extraperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy using the modified Gaur technique of balloon dilatation of the retroperitoneum in 4 men and 5 women with unilaterla small adrenal tumor who were 30 to 79 years old (mean age 56 years). Preoperative diagnosis was primary aldosteronism in 2, 18-hydroxycorticosterone producing adnoma in 1, pre-Cushing syndrome in 5, and nonfunctioning adrenal tumor in 1 patient. The operations were performed with the patients on lateral position and 4 torocars were positioned. The retroperitoneal space was first dissected bluntly by the index finger and a balloon dissector through a small skin incision, and the retroperitoneal space was insufflated with carbon dioxide at the pressure of 10 to 12 mmHg. After the dissection of the adrenal gland, adrenal vein was clipped and transected. The completely freed adrenal gland was enclosed in an entrapment sack and removed en bloc through the open laparoscopy wound. (RESULTS). All 9 procedures were successfully performed. The mean estimated blood loss and the mean operating time were 53 ml and 168 min respectively. There was no intraoperative complication. A postoperative retroperitoneal hematoma was observed in one patient, however it spontaneously resolved without surgical management. (CONCLUSION). In open adrenalectomy, the benefit of the extraperitoneal approach (excluding patients with pheochromocytoma or bilateral lesions) have already been established elsewhere. Although the working space is smaller than that of peritoneal approach, and the surgical techniques are slightly more difficult, extraperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy promises to be safe and a minimally invasive treatment for patients with unilateral small adrenal tumors except for pheochromocytoma. |
