Laparoscopic surgery for malignant adrenal tumors.
Advances in imaging have improved early detection of primary and metastatic adrenal tumors. The laparoscopic approach, the gold standard for benign adrenal diseases, is controversial for malignant adrenal tumors. A prospective randomized study of the role of laparoscopic surgery in adrenal cancer is not feasible because of the rarity of the disease. A review of the literature demonstrates the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic adrenalectomy for solitary adrenal tumors. In primary adrenal malignancies, the laparoscopic approach should be considered cautiously, only when it can achieve complete tumor resection with an intact adrenal capsule. Conversion to an open procedure should be an early decision, prior to tumor morcellation or fracture of the tumor capsule. Patients who have local invasion, tumors that are too large, or require organ resection require an open procedure.
