Abstract

There has been a significant progress in robotic applications for adrenal surgery over the last decade. Since this technology provides advantages to certain drawbacks of laparoscopic surgery, it has been adapted by a number of centers that have described the techniques and early outcomes. In this chapter we will describe various techniques of robotic adrenalectomy and summarize the current literature on recent outcomes.
