Since 1977, we have operated on 18 nonfunctioning adrenal tumors. The pathological diagnosis included seven adrenocortical adenomas, three adrenocortical hypeplasias, three ganglioneuromas two adrenal cysts, two myelolipomas and one metastatic cancer. We successfully performed laparoscopic adrenalectomy in 11 of these patients and open surgery in the other 7 patients. In the patients undergoing laparoscopic adrenalectomy, post-operative recovery (fist oral intake, first ambulation, and total convalescence) was remarkably rapid. The indication of adrenalectomy for nonfunctioning adrenal tumors is controversial, but we can not exclude the possibility of malignancy even in small tumors. Therefore, because of the minimally invasive nature of laparoscopic surgery, the indications for operating on nonfunctioning adrenal tumors will be widened by introducing laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
