Abstract

Robotic surgery is becoming a popular abdominothoracic surgical procedure. Since the introduction of robotic adrenalectomy less than a decade ago, this technique has gained increased acceptance and has generated great interest among laparoendoscopic surgeons. This article describes the detailed techniques used for robotic adrenalectomy using different approaches.

Keywords: Adrenalectomy; Posterior retroperitoneal approach; Robotics; Transperitoneal.
