Comparison of results of laparoscopic and open surgical techniques in adrenal masses larger than 6 cm

Aim: In this study, we aimed to compare the results of conventional and laparoscopic adrenalectomy in patients with adrenal masses greater than 6 cm. Material and Methods: Thirty-six patients with tumor size greater than 6 cm who underwent adrenalectomy between January 2011 and January 2018 were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups as Group 1 conventional and Group 2 Laparoscopic surgery. The two groups were retrospectively compared in terms of age, sex, mass localization, mass size, duration of operation, amount of bleeding, duration of hospitalization, duration of onset of food intake, perioperative mortality, early period complications and re-admission to the hospital within 90 days.
