a MRI for Case 1 showing a 2.1 cm × 1.7 cm × 2.5 cm T2 hyperintense, heterogeneously enhancing lobulated structure replacing the right adrenal gland without gross evidence of local invasion and local or distant adenopathy. b MIBG study showing activity in the right adrenal gland without any abnormal foci of uptake elsewhere. c Location of ports. After placement of an 8 mm periumbilical robotic camera port (red), additional 8 mm midline robotic ports were placed in the suprapubic and subxiphoid regions, and midway between xiphoid and umbilicus (blue) in a straight line. A 5 mm laparoscopic assistant port with insufflation was placed over the right abdominal wall (green). Representative intraoperative screen captures for Case 1 showing d primary repair of a small cavotomy with figure-of-eight 4–0 polypropylene suture, and e surgical anatomy of the dissected right adrenal gland (a) in relation to the right suprarenal vein (v), inferior vena cava (ivc), right kidney (k) and liver (l). f FISH of the final tumor specimen did not demonstrate MYCN amplification
