In this study, we aim to evaluate our robotic adrenalectomy experience and delineate the factors that have a substantial impact on surgical outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Successive 0 transperitoneal robotic operations using the daVinci SI<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup> platform were grouped according to the surgery side, malignant or benign pathologies, for adenoma or non-adenoma lesions, tumor size of less than 4\u2005cm or above, body mass index below or above 30\u2005kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, and with or without laparotomy history.

We had only one conversion to perform open surgery (3.3%). Operations performed for adenoma significantly last longer when compared with the non-adenoma group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). In the malignant group, the amount of bleeding during surgery was found to be significantly higher (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). The blood loss during the surgery was also found to be higher in the adenoma group than in the non-adenoma match (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). Phenomenally, operative blood loss was found to be lesser in the bigger tumor size group (&amp;gt;4\u2005cm) than in the smaller size group
