Almost more than a decade ago laparoscopic retroperitoneal adrenalectomy was introduced as an alternative to lateral approach. Today both of the techniques have become standard in removal of adrenal tumors and many surgeons showed favorable results in malignant tumors. This review outlines the technical details of the procedure and provides a summary of the literature. J. Surg. Oncol. 2012; 106:619–621. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
