Fig. 2 Large left adrenal
tumor (T) displacing the
left kidney (K) inferiorly.

• Large tumors displace normal anatomical structures as they enlarge. The kidney
is pushed inferiorly and therefore the renal vessels are usually stretched along the
medial aspect of the tumor capsule (Fig.2). These may easily be mistaken for
adrenal vessels and care must be taken to correctly identify and preserve them
during dissection of the tumor. If the tumor involves the renal vessels or the
upper pole of the kidney, an en-bloc nephrectomy should be performed.
4.1 Right Sided Open Adrenalectomy
A generous subcostal incision two ngerbreadths below the costal margin is performed from the midline to the mid-axillary line. It is important that this incision
line is marked prior to exing the operating table.
The external oblique, internal oblique and transverse abdominal muscles laterally and rectus abdominus medially are divided using cautery. The peritoneum is
then incised sharply, entering the peritoneal cavity. A thorough laparotomy is performed, systematically examining all four quadrants of the peritoneal cavity to
assess for metastatic disease.
While small adrenal tumors can usually be accessed without right colonic or
duodenal mobilization, in the setting of open adrenalectomy the tumor is large or
locally invasive, and requires mobilization of overlying structures to ensure adequate exposure.

The liver is mobilized by dividing the right triangular ligament to the diaphragm
(Fig.3), allowing medialization of the right lobe. The falciform ligament is divided
between clips and dissected cranially to the diaphragm, taking care to avoid the
hepatic veins.
• Occasionally this will not afford adequate exposure and a right hemi- hepatectomy
may be required for access (Fig.4).

• It is important to remember that medial retraction of the liver may cause IVC
compression and hypotension, and so a close ongoing dialogue with the anesthe-
tist is important.
The hepatic exure of the colon is mobilized and retracted inferiorly.
The duodenum is then Kocherized to expose the IVC (Fig.4).
The peritoneum of the posterior abdominal wall and Gerota’s fascia is incised at
the lateral, inferior and superior margins of the tumor if initially accessible. This
step denes the eld of dissection (Fig.5), and will allow greater mobility in lateral
retraction of the tumor to exposure the lateral border of the IVC.
Once Gerota’s fascia has been incised at the upper pole of the kidney, the upper
pole is dened and the perinephric fat is swept up to be included with the specimen.
If the tumor is involving the kidney or renal hilum, this incision into Gerota’s
fascia is continued lateral to the kidney, to enter a posterior plane on the on the quadratus lumborum muscle, preparing for en-bloc resection.
The plane between the IVC and the tumor is identied in the inferior aspect of the
eld and dissected to expose the lateral border of the IVC along a broad front, working from inferior to superior. The IVC is dissected from the adrenal tumor (Fig.6).
Small tributaries of the caudate lobe that drain directly to the IVC must be
secured, taking care not to avulse them during liver retraction.
We aim to triangulate the dissection onto the adrenal vein from below and above.
With the patient in the lateral position, the adrenal vein is encountered as the IVC is
passing under the liver (Fig.7).

the IVC and right renal

The adrenal vein is identied, ligated and divided.
• The retrocaval component of the adrenal requires gentle retraction of the IVC
• Once the adrenal vein is secured, the tumor is lifted off from the retroperitoneum
and the feeding arteries, which arise from the inferior phrenic, the aorta and the
renal arteries are ligated and divided with a thermal sealing device.
• In the situation of vascular invasion or tumor thrombus, it is crucial to involve an
experienced vascular surgeon. Extension of tumor thrombus into the left atrium
may necessitate cardiopulmonary bypass to achieve resection (Fig.8).
Supra and infra-hepatic control of the IVC should be secured prior to approaching
the adrenal vein if the extent of vascular involvement is unclear.
Occasionally invasive disease necessitates IVC resection and reconstruction to
achieve an R0 resection margin (Fig.9). Similarly, in the case of renal involvement,
early proximal control of the renal vessels should be achieved (Fig.10).

4.2 Left Sided Adrenalectomy
The patient is positioned supine with a wedge under the left side and the operating
table exed to accentuate the space between the iliac crest and costal margin.
An incision two nger-breadths below the costal margin from the mid-axillary
line to the midline, and dissection and entry to the peritoneal cavity is performed in
a similar way to the right side.
We adopt a similar approach to open dissection as is performed during left anterior laparoscopic adrenalectomy, and have included some representative gures to
illustrate the anatomical teaching points.
The splenic exure and descending colon are mobilized by incising the white
line of Toldt and developing the embryological fusion plane (Fig.11).
The peritoneal incision line lateral to the colon is also continued superiorly to
divide the lienophrenic (splenophrenic) ligament. This allows medial retraction of
the spleen and visualization of the lienorenal (splenorenal) ligament (Fig.12).
Although the left adrenal can be approached through the lesser sac by opening
the gastrohepatic (1) or gastrosplenic ligaments (2), and incising the posterior peritoneum, the exposure afforded by this approach is limited, and is not well-suited to

large or invasive tumors for which open adrenalectomy is typically required. Instead,
we prefer the approach through the lienorenal (splenorenal) ligament (3) (Fig.13).
The lienorenal (splenorenal) ligament is incised to enter the plane between the
spleen/tail of pancreas and the kidney (Fig.14). It is important that this incision in
the lienorenal (splenorenal) ligament is not made too close to the splenic capsule,
and the correct plane is identied, otherwise troublesome bleeding from small hilar
branches may be encountered.
Once the plane between the kidney and spleen/tail of pancreas has been developed, “opening the book”, a left medial visceral rotation allows wide exposure of
the retroperitoneum and adrenal tumor.
Gerota’s fascia is incised at the lateral aspect of the upper pole of the kidney/
inferior margin of the tumor and continued superiorly to the diaphragm to mark the
lateral extent of the resection eld (Fig.15).
Dissection is also continued medially to identify and dene the renal vessels.
They may be stretched along the inferomedial aspect of the tumor and may be of a
similar size to the vessels entering the tumor. Care must be taken not to inadvertently divide them as capsular dissection proceeds.

As the inferomedial corner of the tumor is approached, the adrenal vein is identied and ligated. The inferior phrenic vein usually joins the left adrenal vein before
the junction with the left renal vein (Fig.16).
If local invasion necessitates en-bloc resection of the spleen and tail of pancreas,
the gastrocolic and gastrosplenic ligaments are divided to enter the lesser sac and
dene the proximal resection margin on the pancreas and splenic vessels (Fig.13).
Occasionally en-bloc resection of a cuff of diaphragm or posterior abdominal wall
musculature is necessary to ensure an R0 resection margin (Fig.17).
The tumor is then lifted off from the retroperitoneum and any feeding vessels are
ligated and divided.
We do not routinely leave a drain tube, however in the setting of multivisceral
resection involving liver or pancreas, a 15F drain is placed.
The abdominal wall is closed in two layers with two running 1-0 polydioxanone
sutures. The subcutaneous tissue is approximated with interrupted 3-0 vicryl and the
skin is sutured using an absorbable 3-0 monolament suture.
