This patient had a 3cm left adrenal mass and over-excretion of adrenal hormones. Positioning is lateral with table break, 4 subcostal ports and harmonic scalpel.
Thanks for posting this. I'm going to have this very operation on Dec 23, 08. It's great to get a look at what's supposed to happen. Mine is also about 3cm and produces adrenaline all the time. It's no fun and was starting to kill me with palpitations,high bp and a dozen other odd things (odd because I'm 45, in great athletic shape and had no medical problems before).
I feel quite fortunate to live in the USA, where they can find this stuff and do something about it before it killed me.
