Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of retroperitoneoscopic surgery for adrenal cyst.Methods From May 2002 to December 2006,retroperitoneoscopic surgery was performed in 12 cases of adrenal cyst.The diameter of cyst was ranged from 3.6 cm?2.2 cm-10.0 cm?8.0 cm.After the retroperitoneal space was dilated,the perinephric fascia was opened.The adipose tissues around the upper polar of the kidney and the adrenal gland were dissected.Then the upper polar of the kidney and the cyst of adrenal gland were separated along the renal surface with a ultrasound scalpel.The cysts and normal adrenal tissue 1 cm away from the cysts were resected.Results The operation was successful in all of 12 patients without conversion to open surgery.The mean operative time was 65 min(range,50-120 min);the mean blood loss was 45 ml(range,10-150 ml);the mean hospital stay was 4.5 days(range,3-7 days).Intraoperative cyst rupture occurred in 2 cases of larger cysts,then the cystic fluid was drawn out and the cyst wall was fully excised.No incision infections occurred.A follow-up period of 2-55 months(mean,32 months) in 12 patients showed no cysts recurrence.Conclusions Retroperitoneoscopic surgery for adrenal cyst has the advantages of minimal invasion,less blood loss,quicker recovery,and shorter hospital stay,therefore it provides the first choice for adrenal cyst.
