. To compare laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) and conventional multiport adrenalectomy in patients with aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA). . We retrospectively reviewed patients who had been clinically confirmed with unilateral APA and who underwent LESS or multiport adrenalectomy between 2009 and 2014. Perioperative data were obtained for all patients. Blood pressure and the levels of serum aldosterone, renin, and potassium were checked periodically. . We identified 45 APA patients in the LESS group and 71 in the multiport group. The baseline characteristics were matched between two groups. All adrenalectomies were completed successfully, except one with laparoscopic conversion in the single-port group and one open conversion in the multiport group. After a mean follow-up around one year, there were no significant group differences in the improvement of hypertension, number of types of medication taken, and cure of hypokalemia after operation. . Our study confirm that LESS adrenalectomy achieved similar clinical and functional outcomes as conventional multiport adrenalectomy for management of unilateral APA.

Article Synopsis
- Minimally invasive surgery offers shorter hospital stays, enabling the potential for outpatient (OP) procedures, especially with the introduction of single-port (SP) robotic techniques in urology.
- A literature review analyzed the safety and feasibility of OP robotic urological surgeries, revealing high same-day discharge rates and lower complication risks compared to inpatient procedures.
- Overall, the study concludes that outpatient robotic urological surgery is both feasible and safe for selected patients, with SP-RARP procedures showing even better outcomes than multiport options.

To evaluate the operative outcome of the use of intracavitary retractors in transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) adrenalectomy in comparison with the conventional multiport laparoendoscopic procedure. Between July 2021 and December 2023, 34 patients underwent transumbilical LESS adrenalectomy with intracavitary retractors, while 47 patients underwent conventional multiport laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Comprehensive data were compared, including demographics, intraoperative outcomes, perioperative complications, postoperative visual analog pain scale score, analgesic requirement, and short-term measures of convalescence.

The focused use of a single-site port as an adjunct designed to decrease overall port site number and/or assist with specimen extraction in pediatric robotic surgery has not been fully elucidated. We aimed to describe the feasibility of using the single-site port as an adjunct during multi-port robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RA-MIS). A single institution retrospective review of pediatric patients who underwent multiport RA-MIS with an adjunctive single-site (SS) port from August 2018 to October 2022 was performed.

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension and one of the few medical diseases that can be cured by surgery. Excessive aldosterone secretion is highly associated with cardiovascular complications. Many studies have shown that patients with unilateral PA treated with surgery have better survival, cardiovascular, clinical, and biochemical outcomes than those who receive medical treatment.

Background: The surgical and endocrinological outcomes of single-port laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy for patients with aldosterone-producing adenomas are unknown. Precise diagnosis of intra-adrenal aldosterone activity and a precise surgical procedure may improve outcomes. In this study, we aimed to determine the surgical and endocrinological outcomes of single-port laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy with preoperative segmental selective adrenal venous sampling and intraoperative high-resolution laparoscopic ultrasound in patients with unilateral aldosterone-producing adenomas.
