Comparison of laparoscoplc versus open adrenalectomy: results from American College of Surgeons-National Surgery Quality Impro￥ement Project

摘要

Background: Although the existing literature suggests that laparoscopic adrenalectomy may be associated with less postoperative morbidity than open adrenalectomy, a comparison of the two approaches has not been published using American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) data. The objective of our analysis was to compare the 30-d outcomes after laparoscopic versus open adrenalectomy using this data source.
