Overview

Laparoscopic surgery has attained major importance in the treatment of urological diseases for its high efficacy, minimal invasiveness and low morbidity. According to the authors' experience and the relevant literature, transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy is equally effective and less invasive than open surgery, and is one of the new procedures in laparoscopy, which does not necessarily require a longer operative time than its open surgical counterpart, while minimizing patient morbidity.

KEY WORDS:
