Abstract
Introduction
The left adrenal gland is prone to being approached with several access points. This study presents a series of robotic submesocolic left adrenalectomies.
Materials and Methods
Intraoperative and post-operative outcomes of robotic (RB) and laparoscopic (LP) submesocolic (SM) access to the adrenal gland were compared. Subsequently, these were compared to left adrenalectomy performed using the anterior approach (AT).
Results
Operative time was statistically longer in the LP group (p < 0.001). There was no statistical difference for postoperative complications. After the propensity matching, there was a correlation between the BMI and the onset of post-operative complications (OR = 1.01). The operative time was significantly longer in the AT group both overall (p = 0.023) and within the LP procedures (p < 0.001), but not in the RB procedures (p = 0.386). Length of stay was shorter in the SM group (p = 0.024).
Conclusions
The RB SM approach to the left adrenal gland is a safe and feasible.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery provides a cross-disciplinary platform for presenting the latest developments in robotics and computer assisted technologies for medical applications. The journal publishes cutting-edge papers and expert reviews, complemented by commentaries, correspondence and conference highlights that stimulate discussion and exchange of ideas. Areas of interest include robotic surgery aids and systems, operative planning tools, medical imaging and visualisation, simulation and navigation, virtual reality, intuitive command and control systems, haptics and sensor technologies. In addition to research and surgical planning studies, the journal welcomes papers detailing clinical trials and applications of computer-assisted workflows and robotic systems in neurosurgery, urology, paediatric, orthopaedic, craniofacial, cardiovascular, thoraco-abdominal, musculoskeletal and visceral surgery. Articles providing critical analysis of clinical trials, assessment of the benefits and risks of the application of these technologies, commenting on ease of use, or addressing surgical education and training issues are also encouraged. The journal aims to foster a community that encompasses medical practitioners, researchers, and engineers and computer scientists developing robotic systems and computational tools in academic and commercial environments, with the intention of promoting and developing these exciting areas of medical technology.
