AB  - BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of 
      laparoscopic posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy (LPRA) and robotic posterior 
      retroperitoneal adrenalectomy (RPRA) and determine the differences that could 
      affect the outcomes. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 230 adrenalectomy cases 
      from 2014 to 2017. There were 169 LPRA and 61 RPRA cases, and their 
      clinicopathological features and surgical outcomes were compared. RESULTS: In 
      LPRA, there was a positive relationship between operation time and male gender, 
      early period of experience, adrenal tumor size, and pheochromocytoma. In RPRA, 
      adrenal tumor size and pheochromocytoma were the factors affecting the operation 
      time. When the adrenal tumor size was </=5.5 cm, the operation time of LPRA was 
      shorter than that of RPRA (p=0.001). When the tumor size was >5.5 cm, there was 
      no significant difference in the operation times of LPRA and RPRA (p=0.102). 
      CONCLUSIONS: RPRA is a feasible and technically safe approach for benign adrenal 
      diseases. The use of RPRA could benefit patients and provide comfort by 
      overcoming the factors contributing to a longer operation time in the 
      laparoscopic technique, such as male gender and high BMI.
