Filter by:Context: Adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma (PHEO) poses difficulties due to the elevated chance of conversion. The objective of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the occurrence and determinants of conversion in left-sided abdominal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LLA) and right-sided abdominal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RLA). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted to include a total of 271 patients diagnosed with PHEO. These patients were separated into two groups: LRA (N=121) and LLA (N=150). The study period spanned from September 2016 to September 2023.
This research aims to establish clinical evidence for optimal treatment guidelines for adrenal diseases using real-world data. The approach involves building prospective and retrospective patient registries, which will be utilized to develop and conduct research on disease-specific protocols for adrenal disorders. The study targets patients with primary aldosteronism, pheochromocytoma, adrenal cancer, adrenal incidentalomas, and mild autonomous cortisol secretion. Registries for patients with adrenal diseases will be obtained from Seoul National University Hospital and Asan Medical Center, along with securing a common data model. The ultimate goal is to conduct research to generate clinical evidence for adrenal diseases using these resources.
The goal of this multicenter, observational, analytic, randomized clinical trial is to analyze the laparoscopic and robot-assisted method in the surgical treatment of patients with adrenal diseases. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. to find the superiority of one the the surgical method mentioned above 2. to compare the quality of life in patients with adrenal mass before surgery and after laparoscopic or robotic-assisted adrenalectomy.
A single-arm clinical trial was designed in this study. The surgeon will perform urological telesurgery for patients using Chinese domestically produced "MicroHand S" surgical robot system. The "MicroHand S" surgical robot system consists of two physically separated subsystems named the "surgeon console" and the "patient side cart". The surgeon console includes a stereo image viewer, two master manipulators, a control panel and several foot pedals. The patient side cart includes a passive arm that can slide in the up-down direction and be adjusted forward and backward, a swivel head that can rotate around the vertical axis, and three slave arms. In addition, surgical instruments and sterile bags are the essential accessories for the "patient side cart". The principle of the telesurgery is as follows: the surgeon console takes the surgeon's input and translates manipulation into a control signal. After network transmission, the signals will be received by the patient side cart and will be used to control the slave robot to manipulate the instruments to perform the operation within the patient's cavity. The 3D images captured by the endoscopic camera will be simultaneously sent back to the screen of the surgeon console as visual feedback. Data between the surgeon console and the patient side cart will be transmitted through a 5G network or other advanced network networking scheme. The surgeon remotely manipulates the slave arms and performs surgeries for patients in remote areas. The safety and efficacy of the robot system in remote clinical treatment will be verified by the primary and the secondary evaluation criteria. One hundred patients with urological diseases will be enrolled in the clinical trial. Primary evaluation criterion: The success rate of the surgery. Surgery success is defined as that all surgeries are performed remotely and safely without transfering to other types of surgery, such as open surgery or normal robot-assisted surgery. Secondary evaluation criteria: Operative time, blood loss, postoperative pain, preoperative adjusting time, hospitalization time, average network latency, task load, peer recognition, anxiety index. Patient enrollment: This experiment aims to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the domestic robot system in clinical urological surgery under the current network networking scheme. It is planned that 100 patients with urinary system diseases will participate in the clinical trial.
The main drawbacks of conventional 2D laparoscopy are limited depth perception and loss of spatial orientation. High-quality 3D laparoscopy systems might improve surgical outcomes for adrenalectomy.
One-arm clinical trial was adopted in this study. The surgeon performed remote urological surgery for patients through domestically produced "MicroHand" surgical robot system (Shandong Weigao Co., Ltd). The "MicroHand" surgical robot system consists of two physically separated subsystems named the "surgeon console" and "patient side cart". The surgeon console includes a stereo image viewer, two master manipulators, a control panel and several foot pedals. The patient side cart includes a passive arm that can slide in the up-down direction and be adjusted forward and backward, a swivel head that can rotate around the vertical axis, and three slave arms (one for the endoscopic camera and the other two for surgical instruments). The surgeon console (based in Qingdao) takes the surgeon's input and translates manipulation into a control signal. After network transmission, the patient side cart (based in other cities in Shandong Province) translates the control signal into actual instrument manipulation. The 3D images captured by the endoscopic camera were simultaneously sent back to the screen of the surgeon console as visual feedback. Data between the surgeon console and the patient side cart were transmitted through a 5G network. The safety and effectiveness of the robotic system in remote clinical diagnosis and treatment were verified by the main judgment criterion and secondary judgment criterion. Fifty patients with urinary diseases are planned to enroll in the clinical trial. Main judgment criterion: The robot-assisted telesurgery did not transfer to other types of surgery, such as open surgery or normal robot-assisted surgery. Secondary judgment criterion: operative time, blood loss, postoperative pain, preoperative adjusting time and hospitalization time. Patient enrollment: This trial aims to explore the safety and effectiveness of the domestically produced robotic system in remote clinical diagnosis and treatment through 5G network. Fifty patients with urinary diseases are planned to enroll in the clinical trial.

This is a prospective study of rare neuroendocrine and adrenal tumors. Subjects will be enrolled via informed consent, and blood and/or saliva and tissue will be collected. This is designed to work in conjunction with IRB#831990 which is a retrospective protocol. The University of Pennsylvania will be a contributing site with the University of Michigan as the coordinating site for the A5 alliance, a multi-institutional collaborative designed to study neuroendocrine and adrenal tumors.
The investigators hypothesize that cardiovascular and metabolic alterations can occur in patients with adrenal adenomas and possible Autonomous Cortisol Secretion (pACS). Investigators hypothesize that adrenalectomy in selected patients, following the 2016 ECE guidelines, can improve metabolic parameters and cardiovascular risks and features.
With our retrospective study the investigators show the limitations of the posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy by analyzing anatomical parameters. The investigators compared the data from one patient who underwent a conversion with 13 patients without a conversion. Furthermore, they explored the influence of these parameters on the operation time and excluded the patient who had a conversion from this analysis. The investigators hypothesize that by determining anatomical characteristics on cross-sectional imaging (CT or MRI), they can show the limitations of the posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy to prevent patients from being converted to lateral transperitoneal adrenalectomy.
