      <abstract>
        <p>Posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (PRA) allows the surgeon to approach the adrenal gland through the back rather than the more traditional laparoscopic transabdominal adrenalectomy (LTA) approach.  This technique was popularized in Germany but is being used increasingly throughout the United States.  Our institution was one of the early adopters of this technique in the US, and we present such an operation here.</p>
