Abstract
First described by Gagner et al. and Higashihara et al. in 1992 laparoscopic adrenalectomy is now considered the gold standard treatment for removal of adrenal masses. Reduction in post-operative stay, wound related complications, pain and faster return to normal activities in comparison to standard open technique represent the main benefits of the minimally invasive approach. Current indications for laparoscopic transperitoneal approach to the adrenal glands are removal of benign functioning and non-functioning tumors of the adrenal gland <12-cm.
