Abstract

The robotic approach for adrenalectomy has revolutionized the field of minimal access surgery for benign adrenal tumours. Robotic adrenal surgery has the edge over conventional laparoscopic adrenal surgery as it provides 3D stereoscopic vision, a high degree of dexterity with the use of EndoWrist instruments, and an ergonomic position for the surgeon. Here, we present our experience with robotic adrenal surgery in a large right adrenal tumour.
