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 first single source to provide information on technique and outcomes for a diversity of
endocrine surgeons minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeons surgical oncologists urologists
and general surgeons.
