โฆ Synopsis
A case of a benign cyst of the right adrenal gland resected laparoscopically is presented. The approach was through the right subcostal space mobilizing the right lobe of the liver and the right colonic flexure. The procedure was of 75 min duration and was uneventful. The patient was discharged the 3rd postoperative day free of postoperative pain. The advantages and disadvantages of this new modality for the treatment of adrenal gland cysts are discussed.
