Concerning adrenal surgery, ICG was of greater benefit in cortical lesions, as these tumors tended to be hyperfluorescent compared to surrounding retroperitoneal tissues. The video shows a case of ICG-guided robotic partial adrenalectomy (RPA). METHODS: We present a case of a 54-year old female patient with a 1 cm left adrenal aldosterone-secreting lesion. Patient was symptomatic and required hypotensive treatment. Serum aldosteron levels were increased. Patient was placed in extended flank position and side docking. A transperitoneal five-port access was performed using a 30° scope. Once the adrenal gland was identified, under NIFI, the adrenal nodule appeared hyperintense compared to the adrenal parenchyma. The lesion was progressively mobilized following the pseudocapsule plane. A blunt and sharp dissection using monopolar scissors was employed to maximize adrenal parenchyma preservation. Blood pressure was carefully monitored intraoperatively to ensure hemodynamic stability during the procedure. The dissection was carried out without any isolation of adrenal vessels, in order to avoid accident or injury to adrenal vessels. The remnant adrenal margins were approximated with a sliding-clip running suture (3/0 Monocryl). RESULTS: Operative time was 60 minutes. Blood loss was 180 ml. Post-operative course was uneventful. Blood Pressure was normalized without the need of medications. Patient was discharged on second post-operative day. Pathologic examination showed an adenoma of adrenal cortex. At three-month follow up, no antihypertensive medications were needed. Aldosteron levels returned to normal values. A Complete Clinical Success according to PASO classification was obtained. CONCLUSIONS: ICG-guided RPA is a safe and feasible procedure, providing excellent functional outcomes. The real time feed-back of ICG technology is best suited for small lesions to improve visualization of resection margins and to minimize unintended resection of healthy parenchyma.
