Robotic Lateral Trans-Abdominal Adrenalectomy: Current Status

AbstractPurpose of ReviewAdrenal tumor surgery is routinely performed by minimal invasive surgery. We aim to over-view of updates on lateral approach for robotic adrenalectomy.Recent UpdatesIn the era of robotic surgery with the feasibility and the ability to provide the surgeon of three-dimensional view, which allows maximum range of motion and precision with the different approaches in adrenalectomy. The lateral robotic approach was the most frequently performed.SummaryRobotic system is safe and effective approach that can be used for adrenalectomy and can be alternative to laparoscopic depending on patient ’s selection and surgeon’s experience.
