Abstract

BACKGROUND: Adrenalectomy is routinely performed via the minimally invasive approach. Safety of adrenalectomy using the robot-assisted technique has been widely demonstrated by several series, but the literature is scarce regarding the comparison of conventional laparoscopic versus robot-assisted approach. We decided to carry out a multicenter study to compare clinical and surgical outcomes between laparoscopic and robotic adrenalectomy.
