AB  - Laparoscopic  adrenalectomy  is  indicated  for  pheochromocytomas,  and  hormonally  active  adenomas  that  may  secrete  aldosterone,  glucocorticoids,  testosterone,  or  estrogen.  Hormonally  inactive  lesions  >3  cm  that  demonstrate  growth  over  time  on  serial  imaging  studies  or  tumors  >4  cm  without  evidence  of  growth  are  also  an  indication  for  laparoscopic  adrenalectomy.  Functional  bilateral  adrenal  hyperplasia  refractory  to  medical  management,  primary  adrenocortical  carcinoma,  and  solitary  metastasis  may  be  treated  with  laparoscopic  adrenalectomy.  However,  great  care  should  be  taken  when  removing  the  adrenal  metastases  from  the  abdomen  in  cases  of  lung  or  renal  cancer,  as  these  are  particularly  prone  to  port-site  metastasis.
