Background: Aldosterone-producing adenomas cause hypertension in 5–10 % of cases. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the gold standard treatment for early-stage adrenal gland tumors, but minimally invasive procedures, such as ablative techniques can also be applied. Therefore, we aimed to compare laparoscopic adrenalectomy and ablation techniques in terms of efficacy and safety in the treatment of benign adrenal gland tumors. Materials and methods: We conducted a systematic search in five databases and included studies comparing the efficacy and safety of ablation techniques and laparoscopic adrenalectomy. We calculated odds ratios (ORs) for eligible studies with binary outcomes, and mean differences (MD) with 95 % confidence intervals (CI) for continuous outcomes. Results: Five studies focusing on aldosterone-producing adenomas were included in our review. A total of 119 patients at 14 centers underwent ablation, and 161 patients had laparoscopic adrenalectomy. The complication rates (OR: 0.98, CI: 0.35–2.69) were similar in both groups, but among complications, hypertensive crisis (OR: 8.13; CI: 1.14–58.11) was more frequent in the ablative group, and even the success rate of interventions - the resolution of hypertension (OR: 0.30, CI: 0.16–0.56) - was lower in this group. On the other hand, the advantage of ablation was shorter intervention time (MD: 75.64 min; CI: 6.33–144.95), shorter hospital stay (MD: 1.6 days; CI: 0.88–2.31), and less perioperative blood loss (MD: 43.55 ml; CI: 12.07–75.04) compared to laparoscopy. Conclusion: Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is still the best therapeutic approach, but ablation can be an appropriate alternative option for the treatment of aldosterone-producing adrenal gland tumors. |
