Zusammenfassung: | Laparoendoscopic single‐site surgery is being adapted for widespread indications because it offers minimal invasiveness. Herein, we report a case of synchronous bilateral cortex‐preserving adrenalectomy for bilateral large adrenal pheochromocytomas. We used conventional laparoscopic instruments and trocars through a single‐port site. The total operative time was 110 min. There were no perioperative complications. Single‐incision multiport laparoendoscopic surgery, also known as SIMPLE surgery, can be safely used for bilateral adrenalectomy. This modification holds promise with its minimally invasive nature and reduced cost. |
