Dr. Ranjeet Singh Rathore, Dr. Arjit Kapoor, Dr. Dhanav Mahajan, Dr. Gurpal Singh

Background: Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has become the gold standard technique for adrenal masses under 6 cm due to a number of advantages over the conventional approach; however, for larger masses, an open approach has been suggested because it is thought to be associated with less perioperative, hemodynamic instability and ensures complete tumor resection. Aims and Objectives: The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and viability of laparoscopic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma. Study Design: Prospective cohort study. Material and Methods: All patients who underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) for pheochromocytoma (PCC) at ASCOMS hospital Jammu between November 2020 to January 2023 were included in the study after taking an informed consent. The surgeries were performed by the same surgeon having more than 10 years of experience. Results: Our study included total of 52 patients (30 females and 22 males) who underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy for different adrenal masses. Out of 52 patients who underwent adrenalectomy, only 15 turned out to be having pheochromocytoma on histopathology. The mean operative time was 145 minutes with an average blood loss of 200 ml Conclusion: Our study's findings strongly imply that, in the hands of an experienced surgeon, laparoscopic adrenalectomy offers a safe and practical alternative to the traditional approach, even in cases of large pheochromocytomas, given the quicker recovery times and comparable results
