VEGA VEGA, A.; CANGA PRESA, J.M.; SANZ DE LA MORENA, P.    CRUZ VIGO, J.L. de la. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy in adrenal carcinoma. []. , 29, 3, pp.277-280. ISSN 0210-4806.

There is general agreement on the suitability of the laparoscopic approach for benign adrenal lesions against open procedures because of the efficacy and less morbidity. For suspected adrenal malignancies laparoscopic use is controversial. We report our experience in 6 cases of laparoscopic adrenalectomy in patients with the suspicion of adrenal malignancy confined in the gland. In medium a follow up of 24 months (range 12 to 48 months) we observed no recurrences. We concluded that in a suspected adrenal malignancy organ confined laparoscopic adrenalectomy presents the advantage compared with open surgery of reduced morbidity and similar results in the follow up of the patient.
