Adrenal vein plays an important role in performing laparoscopic adrenalectomy successfully. However, it often presents with a multitude of venous anatomical variants. Hence, having a thorough knowledge on the variant types is crucial to reduce operative complications. This study aims to present our experience in identifying adrenal vein variation in adrenalectomy through modified retroperitoneal approach.
