Retroperitoneoscopic excision of an adrenal tumor

A new innovative milestone has been achieved within the Pediatric Surgery Department at Hôtel-Dieu de France with the successful performance of a retroperitoneoscopic excision of an adrenal tumor in a child. This highly specialized procedure provides direct access to the adrenal gland without the need for an abdominal incision.

This delicate operation was successfully carried out by Dr. Marianne Alam under the supervision of Prof Nabil Diab, thanks to specialized surgical expertise and a multidisciplinary approach tailored to the specific requirements of pediatric surgery.

This advanced surgical technique offers several benefits for pediatric patients, including reduced postoperative pain, faster functional recovery, minimal scarring, and a shorter hospital stay, with discharge possible within 48 hours following this major procedure.

This achievement reflects the ongoing commitment of Hôtel-Dieu de France to surgical innovation, the advancement of minimally invasive techniques, and the continuous improvement of the quality of care provided to pediatric patients, in accordance with the highest international standards.
