Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the laparoscopic procedure and therapeutic efficacy of retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of adrenal ganglioneuroma.Methods6 patients [4 male and 2 female,32 to 59 (mean 41.3) years old],underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic resection of adrenal ganglioneuroma. In this group, 2 patients with left adrenal ganglioneuroma, 4 patients with right adrenal ganglioneuroma. ResultsAll of the 6 cases was successfully performed uneventfully with retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Pathologic studies confirmed there were 6 cases of adrenal ganglioneuroma. No case was transferred to open operation.The blood pressure remained stable during operation.Mean tumor size was (5.9±2.1) cm (tumor diameter 3.6-11.2 cm) Mean operative time was 120(90-210) min.Mean estimated blood loss was 160 (50-700) ml.Postoperative hospital stay ranged from 7 to 9 days.All the patients were cured without relapse during 4-32 month, follow-up. ConclusionsRetroperitoneal laparoscopic procedures for adrenal ganglioneuroma causes less traumatic;less operative blood loss;distinct image during operation;less postoperative discomfort;faster postoperative recovery and earlier return to daily activities and diet.Retroperitoneal laparoscopic procedure should be considered as the first choice for adrenal ganglioneuroma.
