Retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy (RLPA) for 20-40 mm nonfunctional adrenal tumors in the day surgery mode.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate the outcome and safety of retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy in the treatment of nonfunctional unilateral adrenal tumors in the day surgery mode.

Methods

Nineteen patients bearing nonfunctional unilateral 20-40 mm adrenal tumors were prospectively enrolled and underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy in the day surgery unit of our hospital between June 2021 and March 2022. All patients were diagnosed with non-functional adrenal tumors as outpatients before being admitted to the day surgery unit with their consent. Patient demographics and perioperative data were prospectively documented. The patients were followed up by telephone on day 1, 3 and 7 after discharge and followed up for 6 months.
