“…23 We found no significant differences in satisfaction or cosmesis score between the LESS-A and conventional laparoscopic adrenalectomy (CLA) groups in our previous study. 1 However, in young and female patients, the satisfaction scores were significantly higher in the LESS group than in the conventional group. This result suggests that as young and female patients were less satisfied with CLA and would prefer a novel procedure, they may be ideal candidates for LESS-A.…”

“…This result suggests that as young and female patients were less satisfied with CLA and would prefer a novel procedure, they may be ideal candidates for LESS-A. 1 On the other hand, performing LESS-A through an umbilical access is extremely challenging due to the angle of approach and the difficulty in retracting organs. Furthermore, because the distance from the access port to the target tissue is longer in the transumbilical approach than in the subcostal approach, the direction in the transumbilical approach becomes more tangential in LESS-A.…”
