摘要
Objectives: In order to evaluate the indication and usefulness of laparoscopic adrenalectomy, clinical outcomes of laparoscopic adrenalectomy for patients with adrenal tumors were examined. Whether tumor size affects surgical outcome was analysed, along with the long-term clinical outcome for these patients. Patients and methods: A total of 63 patients with adrenal tumor under-went laparoscopic adrenalectomy in our institute between 1999 and 2003. A laparoscopic transperitoneal approach was used in all cases. Underlying pathologies comprised Cushing syndrome (n = 12), pheochromocytoma (n = 13), primary aldosteronism (n = 21), non-functioning adenoma (n = 12) and others (n = 5). Results: No open conversion was performed. Mean operative duration was 239 min, and mean estimated blood loss was 134 mL. Tumor diameter was significantly smaller for primary aldosteronism than for Cushing syndrome, which in turn was significantly smaller than for adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent macronodular hyperplasia (AIMAH). No significant differences in surgical outcome and postoperative recovery were noted between large (>= 5 cm) and small (<5 cm) tumors. Long-term clinical outcome was better for patients with pheochromocytoma or primary aldosteronism than for patients with Cushing syndrome. Conclusions: Laparoscopic adrenalectomy for benign tumor offers excellent surgical outcomes and convalescence. This is true for both small and large tumors.
