Laparoscopic adrenalectomy in children with diverse adrenal pathologies: the impact of pre-operative imaging in decision making process
Laparoscopic adrenalectomy appears to be a safe and effective technique in selected cases with adrenal masses. Among our cohort, malignant masses were more common compared to the predominantly benign adrenal masses seen in adults. Vascular encasement was a major factor in determining the feasibility of the laparoscopic approach, with preoperative imaging playing a critical role in this assessment.
