Robotic-assisted adrenalectomy for adrenal incidentaloma: case and review of the technique.

An incidental left adrenal mass was found in a patient during an evaluation for mediastinal widening. The patient had no symptoms attributable to adrenal excess. Preoperative biochemical screening was negative for a functioning medullary or cortical adrenal tumor. Surgical resection was successfully completed with the assistance of the da Vinci robotic system. Pathology demonstrated a rare adrenal oncocytoma.
