Description: Aim: To assess the feasibility of portless endoscopic adrenalectomy via a single minimum incision that narrowly permits extraction of the specimen. Methods: For 30 cases of adrenal tumor, portless endoscopic surgery through a single flank incision (3–9 cm; mean, 5.6 cm) was performed without gas inflation or trocar port placement. All of the instruments used during surgery were reusable. The cases included primary aldosteronism (12), Cushing's syndrome (6), preclinical Cushing's syndrome (3), pheochromocytoma (1), non‐functioning cortical adenoma (6), adrenocortical carcinoma (1) and adrenocortical hemorrhage (1). Results: Resection of the tumor was successfully completed, without complications, in all of the cases. Operative time was between 83 and 240 min (mean, 147 min). Estimated blood loss was 5–470 mL (mean, 139 mL). None of the patients required blood transfusion. Postoperative course was uneventful. Wound pain was mild and walking and full oral feeding were resumed on the first and second postoperative day, respectively, in the majority of cases. Conclusions: Adrenal tumors are good candidates for portless endoscopic surgery, which is safe, cost‐effective, minimally invasive and matches favorably with laparoscopic surgery.
