Can Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy Be A Reliable Method for Adrenal Masses Larger than 4 Cm?: Our Clinical Outcomes

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: What's known on the subject? and What does the study add?Adrenal masses are now a common pathology in urology clinics, found incidentally or managed under endocrinological guidance.Adrenalectomy is the preferred approach for masses larger than 4 cm in individuals where surgery is considered acceptable.The most crucial factor in surgical selection is the experience of the surgeon.However, considering criteria such as hospital stay, intraoperative complications, cost, postoperative pain, and wound infection, the gold standard in adrenalectomy is laparoscopic adrenalectomy.We hope that this study will contribute to the literature by demonstrating the safe and effective use of laparoscopic adrenalectomy for large adrenal masses.
