Comparative Study
Laparoscopic vs open adrenalectomy for benign adrenal neoplasm.
The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) performed for benign adrenal neoplasm to the open procedure in a similar group of patients. ⋯ LA for benign adrenal disorders is a safe procedure that is associated with significantly lower morbidity, shorter ileus and hospitalization, reduced postoperative pain, and a faster return to normal activity than the open procedure.
