Choosing the best way to approach adrenal gland and retroperitoneal tumours is still difficult. We reviewed our first 10 cases operated on by retroperitoneoscopy and compared this approach with other possible ways described in the literature. There were 2 intraoperative complications: 1 opening of the diaphragm and 1 bleeding. Tumour resection was always complete. There was no conversion. There were no postoperative complications. The retroperitoneoscopic approach for adrenalectomy and retroperitoneal tumour resection is increasingly being used. In children, operation is quite fast, without much blood loss and with spectacular postoperative recovery results. Even for the right side we advocate this approach, due to the particular anatomy (small tumour size, less fat, thinner muscle layers) in this age group. Trained surgeons are, of course, mandatory.
