Thirty day postoperative outcomes following laparoscopic adrenalectomy for functional adrenal tumors.

Background: Functional adrenal tumors (FATs) are rare and if left untreated, there is a substantial risk of morbidity and mortality due to uncontrolled excess hormone secretion. The three most common FATs are cortisone-producing tumors (hypercortisolism), aldosterone-producing tumors (hyperaldosteronism), and catecholamines-producing tumors (pheochromocytomas). The study aims to evaluate demographic characteristics and 30-day outcomes after laparoscopic adrenalectomy of FATs.
