Minimally invasive surgery has become the standard-of-care approach for the treatment of
adrenal tumors. As with cholecystectomies, current surgical approach for most adrenalectomies is performed either by anterior-lateral laparoscopic or by posterior retroperitoneoscopic
approaches.
The Atlas of Adrenal Surgery is designed to illustrate different techniques on how to perform successful adrenalectomies by using different approaches. Knowledge of anatomy and
precise surgical technique remain the foundation of high-quality surgery. The Atlas is written
by renowned endocrine surgeons, experts in the field who are members of the American
Association of Endocrine Surgeons and are not only involved in teaching and publishing but
also have mastered this surgical technique and modernized it to the point of perfection!
This Atlas includes techniques of adrenalectomy by using laparoscopic transperitoneal,
posterior retroperitoneal, and robotic approaches. Each procedure includes right and left
adrenalectomy. Each chapter is started with a case description that defines the main aspect of
surgery. Each picture, which is taken intraoperatively, is accompanied by corresponding
drawings for easier understanding of the anatomical structures and steps of the procedure. In
addition, each author provided a video of the same case as it is depicted in the chapter, which
is annotated and can be accessed online via SpringerLink (link.springer.com). The Atlas also
gives some common pitfalls of the procedure in order to avoid complications and improve
patient outcomes.
We hope this Atlas will provide an indispensable source of knowledge to all surgeons, those
who just started their career and those who are in the more advanced stages of their practice
and are learning new techniques of adrenalectomy
