Robotic and Laparoscopic Approaches for Adrenal Surgery in Obese Patients.

Objective: Minimally invasive adrenalectomy is a challenging procedure in obese patients. Few recent studies have advocated against robot-assisted adrenalectomy, particularly in obese patients. This study aims to compare operative outcomes between the robotic and laparoscopic adrenalectomy, particularly in obese patients.

Clinicopathological features of breast angiosarcoma: A 16-years single-institution experience.
