RESUMO
Laparoscopic surgery has a wide application in general surgery. Since the first laparoscopic adrenalectomy, this approach has quickly been adopted, and increasing numbers are being reported. The small size of the adrenal gland, the benign nature of most adrenal tumors and the difficulty in reaching the organ via open means make resection of this gland particularly amenable to the laparoscopic approach. The potential benefits of this mini-invasive surgery include decreased operation blood loss, reduced narcotics requirements, shorter hospital stay and recovery time and minimize the parietal trauma. We report herein the first Lebanese case of laparoscopic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma with review of the literature.
