Flank approach adrenalectomy. A diachronic procedure
Journal Title: Αρχεία Ελληνικής Ιατρικής - Year 2010, Vol 27, Issue 2
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The surgical approach to the adrenal glands is always a matter of concern. Although laparoscopy is becoming ever more popular, the open approaches have specific indications. The flank approach for adrenalectomy remains a reliable choice. METHOD In this Department the flank incision was performed as an alternative approach in open surgery of the adrenal glands. Over a period of 3 years 6 patients were operatively treated with flank approach adrenalectomy. The results were analysed and compared to those of other approaches. RESULTS Data assessment showed that all 6 patients were satisfied with the procedure and the reported operative results show that this approach constitutes a very competitive choice in adrenal surgery. CONCLUSIONS Flank approach adrenalectomy remains a safe, successful and competitive surgical option.
