Özet

Recently, we demonstrated better perioperative outcomes with robotic versus laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) with the posterior retroperitoneal approach in general, and for removal of large adrenal tumors. It is unknown if robotic adrenalectomy (RA) is equivalent to LA in obese patients. The aim of this study is to compare perioperative outcomes of RA versus LA in obese patients.
