Abstract: Objective To study the safety and efficacy of retroperitoneal laparoscopic resection of adrenal neurilemmoma.Methods The data of 7 cases with adrenal neurilemmoma undergoing retroperitoneal laparoscopic resection were analyzed.2 cases were diagnosed by ultrasound scan,3 cases had blood pressure elevation,and 2 cases had pain in waist and abdomen.All cases underwent ultrasound and CT scan.The neurilemmoma was located in left adrenal area in 2 cases and located in right adrenal area in 5 cases.Results All the 7 cases were successfully operated.No conversion or severe blood loss happened.The average tumor size was 5.0 cm,ranging from 3.0 to 7.0 cm.The average operation time was 75 min,ranging from 45 to 120 min.The estimated blood loss was 50 ml,ranging from 20 to 100 ml.The patients were discharged 7-8 day after the operation.During the 2-12 months of follow-up,no recurrence or metastasis was found.Conclusion Retroperitoneal laparoscopic resection offers an effective and better treatment for adrenal neurilemmoma,with the advantages of less blood loss,less trauma,and faster recovery.
