Adrenal Gland Surgery

Adrenal gland surgery involves the removal of one or both adrenal glands, which are small organs located above the kidneys that produce hormones for various body functions. This procedure is typically performed to treat tumors, adrenal gland disorders, or cancer. Surgeons may use traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy, which require smaller incisions and may result in quicker recovery. Post-surgery, patients may need hormone replacement therapy if both glands are removed. The goal of the surgery is to alleviate symptoms and restore hormonal balance while minimizing risks and complications.
