ABSTRACT
Despite the triumph of minimally invasive techniques in adrenal surgery, the indications for open adrenalectomy are indispensable in the canon of treatment options and must remain part of the repertoire of visceral surgery. Open adrenalectomy is indicated for advanced adrenal carcinoma (ENSAT stage III). In addition to the frequent local infiltration of these carcinomas which makes the en bloc resection of adjacent organs necessary, thromboses in the renal vein or the vena cava or multiple lymph node metastases can also necessitate an open procedure; however, open adrenalectomy is justified and must also be discussed for adrenocortical carcinoma ENSAT stages I-II (tumor size ≤â¯5â¯cm or >â¯5â¯cm, NO). Furthermore, highly suspicious large adrenal tumors (6-8â¯cm, Hounsfield units >â¯20) without preoperative evidence of malignancy and other adrenal pathologies, such as neuroblastomas, large pheochromocytomas and also schwannomas can be an indication for open adrenalectomy.
