Objective: To evaluate the modified Zhang's 'three-level' technique of retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RLA) to treat adrenal lesions for patients with BMI of 25-30 Kg/m2.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed in all patients with BMI of 25-30 Kg/m2 in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2019. Those who underwent laparoscopic adrenal surgery were divided into two groups on the basis of the technique used: the Zhang's technique (the ZT group) and the modified technique (the MT group).
Results: Herein, 170 operations were included (ZT, 91 patients; MT, 79 patients). RLA was successfully performed in all of them. Compared with the ZT group patients, the MT group patients showed shorter operation time (p = 0.007), lesser intraoperative blood loss (p = 0.023), shorter operation time, earlier postoperative diet recovery (p < 0.001), shorter postoperative drainage time (p < 0.001) and shorter postoperative hospitalization period (p = 0.001). It was also worth noting that the unplanned total adrenalectomy rate was significantly less in the MT group than in the ZT group (0% vs. 10.8%, p = 0.020). There was no significant difference in the complications between the two groups (3.3% vs. 2.5%, p = 0.567).
Conclusions: We found that MT was a beneficial retroperitoneal laparoscopic treatment for adrenal lesions in patients who had a BMI of 25-30 Kg/m2. It may provide a reference for the treatment of adrenal surgical diseases in such patients.
