Laparoscopic surgery has a wide application in general surgery. Since the first laparoscopic adrenalectomy, this approach has quickly been adopted, and increasing numbers are being reported. The small size of the adrenal gland, the benign nature of most adrenal tumors and the difficulty in reaching the organ via open means make resection of this gland particularly amenable to the laparoscopic approach. The potential benefits of this mini-invasive surgery include decreased operation blood loss, reduced narcotics requirements, shorter hospital stay and recovery time and minimize the parietal trauma. We report herein the first Lebanese case of laparoscopic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma with review of the literature.
腹腔镜手术在普通外科有着广泛应用。自首例腹腔镜肾上腺切除术开展以来，这种手术方式迅速得到采用，且报道的病例数不断增加。肾上腺体积小，大多数肾上腺肿瘤为良性，且通过开放手术方式难以触及该器官，这些因素使得肾上腺切除术特别适合采用腹腔镜手术方式。这种微创手术的潜在益处包括减少术中失血、降低麻醉药物用量、缩短住院时间和恢复时间，并将腹壁创伤降至最低。我们在此报告黎巴嫩首例腹腔镜嗜铬细胞瘤切除术，并对相关文献进行综述。
