Abstract
A successful technique for performing left adrenalectomy is described. A retrospective review of patients undergoing left adrenalectomy thro ugh a flank incision at our institution revealed a mean 5 day post-ope rative stay. Our patient was discharged within 24 h of surgery without complications. Laparoscopic left adrenalectomy may offer advantages t o standard resection techniques.
