Prevention of Conversion in Posterior Retroperitoneal Adrenalectomy by Measuring Preoperative Anatomical Conditions

NCT04071561 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 14

Summary

With our retrospective study the investigators show the limitations of the posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy by analyzing anatomical parameters.

The investigators compared the data from one patient who underwent a conversion with 13 patients without a conversion. Furthermore, they explored the influence of these parameters on the operation time and excluded the patient who had a conversion from this analysis.

The investigators hypothesize that by determining anatomical characteristics on cross-sectional imaging (CT or MRI), they can show the limitations of the posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy to prevent patients from being converted to lateral transperitoneal adrenalectomy.

Conditions

  • Adrenal Tumor
  • Adrenal Mass
  • Pheochromocytoma
  • Conn Adenoma
  • Adrenal Metastases
  • Adrenal Hyperplasia

Interventions

OTHER

Posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy (PRA)

Minimally invasive adrenalectomy procedure

OTHER

Lateral transperitoneal adrenalectomy (LTA)

During posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy, the failure to progress or the difficulty of creating or maintaining a pneumoperitoneum are reasons why conversion occurs.
