This study identified independent risk factors for perioperative complications after robotic-assisted unilateral adrenalectomy. These factors should be taken into account when evaluating robotic-assisted transabdominal lateral adrenalectomy.

Our results highlight immunosuppressive drug intake as a major risk factor for laparoscopic peritoneal lavage failure in patients who have Hinchey III diverticulitis. Immunosuppression and severe comorbidities (ASA ≥3) should be considered when selecting a surgical option in patients with Hinchey III diverticulitis.
