Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo compare and evaluate the clinical value among transperitoneal, retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy and open adrenalectomy for the treatment of adrenal tumours.
METHODSFrom January 1996 to June 2002, transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (TLA) was performed for 19 cases, 17 cases were successful (Group A), retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RLA) for 21 cases, 19 cases were successful (Group B), during the same period 41 patients with adrenal tumours under 6 cm in diameter underwent open adrenalectomy (Group C). The procedure was evaluated and compared in the respects of tumors weight, operation time, blood loss, recovery time of GI function, hospital stay, complications transferable rate and indications among three groups.
RESULTSAverage tumors weight was (13.86) g in group A, (15.66) g in group B and (18.03) g in group C; mean operating time: group A was 17.21 min longer than group B, group A. B was 48.53 min longer and 31.32 min longer han group C respectively, mean blood loss in group A. B was less diminished by 121.55 ml and 137.05 ml than group C, and the blood loss in group B was less diminished by 15.50 ml than group A; mean recovery of Gl function, group A and B was 1.87 day and 2.17 day earlier than group C respectively, group B was 0.3 day earlier than group A, mean hospital stay was 2.60 day and 3.87 day shorter than group C, group B was 1.27 day shorter, than group A; transferable rate of operation was 10.5% (group A) and 9.5% (group B). Postoperative complication rate was 10.5%, 14.3% and 9.7% in group A. B and C respectively.
CONCLUSIONSTLA and RLA were better than open method. On the hand of approach to adrenal gland disturbs to abdominal organ and postoperative recovery on RLA have some slight advantage.
