Abstract
Currently, laparoscopic adrenalectomy is considered as the preferred technique to manage adrenal tumors. However, there are no prospective randomized studies evaluating this strategy. With the recent advances in surgical equipment and the widespread of robotic technology, a robotic approach is considered as an interesting option in some medical centers. This approach seems to be feasible and safe but high-level evidence of its benefits is still lacking. This review summarizes indications, advantages and drawbacks of robotic adrenalectomy and describes its surgical technique.
