Abstract
Partial adrenalectomy can preserve adrenal function in patients with adrenal masses. The laparoscopic approach is technically safe and associated with less morbidity without compromising tumor removal. With careful surgical planning, especially in patients with tumors in solitary glands, adrenocortical function may be preserved, thereby avoiding the morbidity associated with medical adrenal replacement.
