Retroperitoneoscopic adrenal surgery has been made popular by Professor Martin Walz - Essen, Germany with whom I trained . In the last 5 years I performed over 50 such operations, I trained several junior surgeons and mentored other Consultants interested in the technique.

In view of the small ‘working space’ this technique is restricted to smaller tumours up to 3-4 cm in maximum diameter and is the best approach for bilateral adrenalectomy.

Recently I edited a journal issue dedicated to different technical aspects of adrenal surgery (see journal).
