[Robotic adrenalectomy-current evidence].

Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is worldwide currently considered the gold standard technique for patients suffering from benign lesions. There has been an increasing number of robotic-assisted adrenalectomies in the last decade due to the systematic further development of minimally invasive surgery resulting in the implementation of robot-assisted surgery. Interestingly, the available studies show some perioperative advantages for robotic surgery but overall the current evidence is weak and there are economic aspects that are not negligible. Therefore, further high-quality studies about robotic-assisted adrenalectomy are mandatory to strengthen the current evidence.
