In contrast to most clinical guidelines, minimally invasive adrenalectomies are being performed on large malignant tumors. A laparoscopic approach was associated with a greater conversion rate and subsequent poor outcomes. If a surgeon is not planning an open adrenalectomy, but adrenal malignancy is a possibility, robotic adrenalectomy may be the preferred approach for resectable adrenal tumors.
