- Abstract
Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is considered the gold standard for the surgical treatment of small adrenal tumors. However, several approach routes, such as the transperitoneal (TP), lateral retroperitoneal, and the posterior retroperitoneal (PR) approaches are being used based on surgeon's preference. The PR approach has several benefits compared with the others. Recently, the authors used the PR approach to treat several adrenal tumors and here describe the methods used in detail and the preliminary results obtained.
