RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The indications for adrenalectomy could be changing by the availability of laparoscopy and the growing detection of incidentalomas. The Endocrine Surgery Section of the Spanish Association of Surgeons conducted a survey to analyse the current indications for adrenalectomy and their results in Spanish surgical departments. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data was gathered as regards the type of hospital and department, volume of procedures, localisation studies and pre-surgical preparations, indications, surgical approach, and results in terms of morbidity and hospital stay. The results of the centres were compared as regards their volume of activity using the Mann-Whitney Test for the quantitative variables and chi squared for the qualitative ones. RESULTS: Thirty-six centres completed the questionnaire and 301 adrenalectomies were reported to be performed in 2008. Most frequent indications were pheochromocytoma (25.2%), non-functioning adenoma (16.2%), aldosteronoma (15.9%), Cushing adenoma (11.2%), metastasis (10.3%), myelolipoma (5.6%), and carcinoma (4.9%). Laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed in 83.7% of cases (6.7% required conversion to laparotomy). The mean hospital stay was 3.9 days for laparoscopic adrenalectomy and 7.4 days for laparotomy. High-volume units (more than 10 per year) used more frequently the laparoscopic approach (P=.019), and had a shorter overall hospital stay (P<.0001). Laparoscopic adrenalectomy was also associated with a shorter hospital stay (P<.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopy for adrenalectomy has become the standard practice in Spain, with good results in terms of morbidity and hospital stay. High volume centres have better results as regards the use of minimally invasive surgery and hospital stay.

Introducción El propósito del estudio es exponer y analizar nuestra experiencia en adrenalectomía laparoscópica (AL).Material y métodos Estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo sobre AL realizada en nuestro centro desde enero de 2000 hasta diciembre de 2008.ResultadosSe realizaron un total de 43 AL a 41 pacientes mediante abordaje transperitoneal lateral. La mediana de edad de los pacientes intervenidos se situó en 53 años. La principal indicación en frecuencia de nuestra serie fue el hiperaldosteronismo (19), seguido de incidentalomas (8), feocromocitomas (6), síndrome de Cushing (6), lesiones metastásicas (3) y carcinoma suprarrenal primario (1). La media de estancia hospitalaria poscirugía fue de 3 días y la media del tamaño de las masas fue de 30mm (rango: 4155mm). No hubo mortalidad en nuestra serie. La necesidad de conversión se redujo a un caso; en ningún caso fue necesario reintervenir a un paciente. ConclusionesLa AL es una técnica segura y eficaz en el tratamiento de tumores suprarrenales que puede realizarse con riesgo y morbilidad mínima (AU)
Introduction The aim of the study was to present and analyse our experience in laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA).Materials and methods Descriptive and retrospective study including LA performed over 8 years, between 2000 and 2008 in our hospital. Results A total of 43 LA were performed to 41 patients using a transperitoneal lateral approach. Indications for adrenalectomy included hyperaldosteronism (19), non-functioning adenoma (8), phaeochromocytoma (6), Cushing's syndrome (6), metastasis (3) and adrenal primary tumour (1). Median postoperative hospital stay was 3 days and the median size of the masses was 30mm (range: 4155mm) Complications occurred in 3 patients (2 respiratory infections, and 1 intraoperative bleeding). There was no mortality. Only one case needed conversion to open adrenalectomy; no patients required reintervention. Conclusion Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is a safe and effective method in the treatment of adrenal masses and it can be performed with minimal risk and morbidity (AU)
