Abstract
Objective

Adrenal conditions requiring surgery are uncommon and are usually seen in several surgical departments. Our experience in laparoscopic management of adrenal pathology after almost five years of use of laparoscopy for retroperitoneal conditions at our center is reported.

Materials and methods

A total of 37 laparoscopic adrenalectomies were performed over 53 months for benign and malignant conditions. The transperitoneal approach was used in most cases (97%) because of the greater surgeon experience with this route. Pregnancy and suspected periadrenal infiltration were considered as absolute contraindications.

Results

Mean operating time was 90 minutes, mean intraoperative bleeding 80ml, and mean hospital stay was 2 days. The main complication was one death. A malignancy was found in 4 patients (10%), while all other patients (90%) had a benign condition, including 8 pheochromocytomas.

Conclusions

Laparoscopy is considered to be the gold standard for benign adrenal conditions. When the malignant mass is a single metastasis from a primary tumor, the laparoscopic approach appears to be reliable. When the malignant lesion is a primary adrenal tumor, laparoscopic management is more controversial, although the results reported by experienced surgeons in their series appear to be adequate.

Resumen
Objetivo

la patología adrenal susceptible de indicación quirúrgica es poco frecuente y normalmente se encuentra dividida entre varios servicios quirúrgicos. Presentamos nuestra experiencia en el manejo laparoscópico tras casi 5 años de implantación de la laparoscopia en la patología retroperitoneal en nuestro centro.

Material y métodos

en 53 meses se han realizado un total de 37 suprarrenalectomías por patología benigna y maligna. El abordaje más frecuentemente empleado es el transperi rectumtoneal (97%) debido a la mayor experiencia del cirujano con esta vía. La paciente embarazada y la sospecha de infiltración periadrenal se han tomado como contraindicaciones absolutas.

Resultados

el tiempo quirúrgico medio es de 90 minutos, sangrado intraoperatorio de 80 cc, estancia media postoperatoria de dos días y la principal complicación ha sido un exitus. En 4 ocasiones la patología es maligna (10%), el resto (90%) benigna, con 8 feocromocitomas.

Conclusiones

la laparoscopia se considera el patrón oro para la patología benigna adrenal. Cuando la lesión es de naturaleza maligna, en caso de ser una metástasis única procedente de otro tumor primario, parece que el abordaje laparoscópico es fiable. Cuando la lesión maligna es primaria adrenal existe más controversia en este tipo de abordaje, si bien es cierto que en series de cirujanos experimentados los resultados parecen adecuados.
