Retroperitoneoscopic Adrenalectomy in Obese Patients: Is It Suitable?

Original language description

The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy for patients with morbid obesity. This retrospective clinical cohort study included patients who underwent elective posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy. Parameters were compared between the two study subgroups: obese (body mass index [BMI] ?30 kg/m2) and non-obese patients (BMI &lt;30 kg/m2). A total of 137 subsequent patients were enrolled in the study (41 obese and 96 non-obese patients). Mean tumour size was 5.2 ? 2.2 cm; aldosteronism and incidentaloma were the most frequent indications. Dorsal retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy can be safely performed in morbidly obese patients, maintaining the advantages of minimally invasive surgery. There is a more favourable postoperative course, shorter hospital stay, better cosmetic outcome and quicker recovery with dorsal retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy
