Advent Health Tampa, Tampa, FL

We present a video of a 76-year-old woman who was diagnosed with an ascending colon adenocarcinoma, and she was also found to have a large, functioning, right adrenal mass. She was prescribed alpha blockers in preparation for a combined operation, as well as beta blockers pre-operatively. The right colon was mobilized and a right hemicolectomy with primary anastomosis was undertaken. Circumferential dissection was carried out around the highly vascularized mass. The right adrenal gland was excised, and an omental flap was used to buttress the area of resection. The patient tolerated the procedure well and was discharged home on POD 3.
