Kumar A et al. - Adrenal-sparing surgery is an effective and safe alternative to total adrenalectomy for small, benign adrenal lesions and may decrease the risk of the development of adrenal insufficiency. While series of laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy have demonstrated safety and excellent long-term outcomes, there have been no reports of a complete robot-assisted partial adrenalectomy. The authors report a case of robot-assisted partial adrenalectomy in a patient with a history of renal-cell carcinoma who had previously undergone contralateral adrenalectomy for metastasis.
