Comparison of robotic adrenalectomy with traditional laparoscopic adrenalectomy with a lateral transperitoneal approach: a single‐surgeon experience

Abstract

With its magnified stereoscopic three-dimensional vision, elimination of tremor, and ability to articulate and rotate surgical instruments, the da Vinci-S® robotic system may be an ideal surgical tool for the operation of adrenal lesions. Robotic adrenalectomy appears to be a safe and effective alternative to traditional laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
