Select patients with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome, such as patients with persistent Cushing's disease after failed hypophysectomy or patients with ectopic ACTH production, may require bilateral adrenalectomy. Laparoscopic bilateral adrenalectomy has been described, offering definitive treatment with reduced morbidity compared with open techniques. We report on the performance of synchronous bilateral adrenalectomy treated using the da Vinci robot (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA). To our knowledge, the usage of this minimally invasive approach for this operation has yet to be reported in literature. The details of the case and a brief review of the literature are described herein.

D003480 Cushing Syndrome A condition caused by prolonged exposure to excess levels of cortisol (HYDROCORTISONE) or other GLUCOCORTICOIDS from endogenous or exogenous sources. It is characterized by upper body OBESITY; OSTEOPOROSIS; HYPERTENSION; DIABETES MELLITUS; HIRSUTISM; AMENORRHEA; and excess body fluid. Endogenous Cushing syndrome or spontaneous hypercortisolism is divided into two groups, those due to an excess of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIN and those that are ACTH-independent.

D000315 Adrenalectomy Excision of one or both adrenal glands. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Adrenalectomies
D000324 Adrenocorticotropic Hormone An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the ADRENAL CORTEX and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield ALPHA-MSH and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).

D012371 Robotics The application of electronic, computerized control systems to mechanical devices designed to perform human functions.
