This atlas is designed to present a comprehensive and state-of the-art approach to single
surgical procedure - adrenal glands surgery. The idea of this surgical atlas is to bring expertise
of adrenal surgery to all surgeons performing, or learning how to perform successful
adrenalectomy procedure, and to illustrate different techniques of adrenalectomy that are
performed by different renown surgeons. The atlas illustrates several different approaches to
adrenalectomy, which include more commonly used anterior lateral adrenalectomy and more
advanced newer techniques of posterior retroperitoneoscopic and robotic adrenalectomies. This
atlas emphasizes different approaches and ways to perform the same procedure. Specifically
how the same procedure could be successfully completed by different surgeons with specific
details of each technique. Each approach is presented by three different expert-surgeons
illustrating three different techniques of procedure, including single-site approach. Different
surgeons have different “tricks” on how to perform this type of procedure successfully. Each
chapter presents procedures that are performed and illustrated by a different single surgeon.
All authors are members of American Association of Endocrine Surgeons (AAES) and are
experts in this specific technique.This atlas includes 18 chapters and illustrates traditional open
approach, anterior lateral right and left adrenalectomy approaches, and more advanced state-of
the-art posterior retroperitoneoscopic right and left adrenalectomies (including single port
procedure) and robotic adrenalectomies.The text includes extensive illustrations and links to
video of all procedures making this an interactive text. Atlas of Adrenal Surgery represents the
firstsingle source to provide information on technique and outcomes for a diversity of
endocrine surgeons, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeons, surgical oncologists, urologists
and general surgeons.
