# A case of aberrant right adrenal vein anatomy

## TL;DR

This paper describes a rare case of a patient with unusual adrenal vein anatomy and successful robotic surgery to remove the adrenal gland.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in demonstrating the successful use of a minimally invasive approach for atypical adrenal vein anatomy.

## Key findings

- A 62-year-old female with uncontrolled hypertension had a right adrenal mass identified.
- Robotic-assisted adrenalectomy was successfully performed despite an aberrant right adrenal vein.
- Minimally invasive techniques are effective for adrenal glands with unusual vascular anatomy.

## Abstract

We report a case of a robotic-assisted excision of a right adrenal gland with an aberrant right adrenal vein. A 62-year-old female presented with uncontrolled hypertension that led to the diagnosis of a right adrenal mass. Based on the clinical, imaging, and laboratory findings, the patient underwent an elective robotic-assisted right adrenalectomy. We provide an overview of the intraoperative findings and highlight the significance of utilizing a minimally invasive approach for the excision of adrenals with atypical vascular anatomy.
