LEFT LAPAROSCOPIC STANDARDIZED ADRENALECTOMY, EVERY DAY LESS INVASIVE

Jara Hernandez Gutierrez, Aurelio Francisco Aranzana Gomez, Juan S Malo Corral, Beatriz Muñoz Jimenez. CH Toledo

Introduction: After the 1st laparoscopic adrenalectomy described in 1992 (Gagner), the laparoscopic lateral transabdominal approach has proved to be the one of choice. It provides an easy anatomical orientation, the technique is similar to other traditional laparoscopic procedures and is the one described in most of the literature. On the other hand, the posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (PRA), described in 1995 (Waltz), has proven to be a safe technique and effective for the surgical management of several adrenal pathologies. The advantages include direct access to the adrenal gland, without the need for visceral mobilization or lysis of adhesions from previous abdominal operations and the ability to perform a bilateral adrenalectomy without repositioning the patient. Currently there is controversy about which is the approach of choice, having to take into account the learning curve necessary for the retroperitoneal approach and the reduced number of patients with adrenal pathology subsidiary of surgical manegement.

The objetive is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the standardized laparoscopic approach of the left adrenal gland with 3 trocars for selected cases.

Methods and Procedures: Clinical case: 43-year-old man, resistant hypertension despite concurrent use of three antihypertensive agents of different classes, with biochemical and radiological diagnosis of left adrenal adenoma with primary hyperaldosteronism. Demonstrative video of the technical steps in a standardized way that we propose for laparoscopic left adrenalectomy only using 3 trocars.

Results: Full laparoscopic surgical approach in right lateral decubitus position: 3 trocars – lateral transabdominal approach.

Steps:

1. Laparoscopic liberation of the splenic flexure of the colon for the colo-spleen-pancreato-gastric en block mobilization until identification of the left pillar, 

2.  dissection of the medial border of the gland, identification of left renal and diaphragmatic vein, as well as the adrenal vein which is dissected and clipped,

3. dissection of the lateral edge of the adrenal gland,

4. lower pole dissection of the gland completing the resection with Ligasure®.

Operating time was 60 min. The patient presented a successful postoperative recovery, being discharged 24 hours after the intervention. Asymptomatic, the patient does not need  antihypertensive agents after 1 year of follow-up.

Conclusion(s): Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is an effective and safe technique that associates scarce morbidity and mortality, and it has evident postoperative advantages for the patient. The standardization of the procedure allows reducing the number of trocars, maintaining the safety and effectiveness of the minimally invasive approach.

Respuesta de SAGES al Estudio NordICC sobre el beneficio de las colonoscopias de detección

SAGES desea aclarar los resultados del estudio NordICC y colocarlos en contexto de los esfuerzos de varias agencias nacionales para reducir el riesgo de cáncer colorrectal – la segunda causa de muerte por cáncer más frecuente en los Estados Unidos-, mediante la promoción de la detección y tratamiento oportuno de las lesiones.

SAGES Response to NordICC Study Regarding Benefit of Screening Colonoscopies

The NordICC Study recently published in The New England Journal of Medicine and widely reported on by media outlets has raised questions regarding the benefit of screening colonoscopy in lowering the risk of colorectal cancer and cancer-related deaths among otherwise healthy and symptom-free men and women aged 55 to 64. Provocative headlines and commentaries have […]
