Abstract
We report the first robot-assisted laparoscopic adrenalectomy for adrenocortical carcinoma. This patient was referred to our center for extirpation of an incidentally discovered 8-cm adrenal mass. The patient underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Surgical margins were negative for malignancy, and the patient was discharged home on the first postoperative day. We review the literature regarding robot-assisted laparoscopic adrenalectomy and discuss the potential benefits of this technique as compared with standard laparoscopy in the management of adrenocortical carcinoma.Entities:
