Current evidence supports the use of robotic surgery as a method of minimally-invasive treatment for adrenal masses. This article presents the case of a robotic adrenalectomy (RA) for an adrenal tumor. Upon examination of the extracted 1.5-cm specimen, it exhibited typical characteristics of aldosterone-producing adenoma, including a golden tan color, well-circumscribed borders, and surrounding normal adrenal gland tissue and fat. The detailed demonstration of this surgical procedure in the accompanying video provides a thorough understanding of the latest advancements in robotic adrenal surgery, offering comprehensive insights into the nuanced techniques and emerging trends in the field.
