Adrenalectomy (Adrenal Gland Surgery)

Adrenalectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one or both adrenal glands, small organs located on top of each kidney. These glands produce hormones that regulate various bodily functions, including metabolism, immune response, and stress. The surgery may be necessary due to tumors, excessive hormone production, or other conditions affecting the adrenal glands. The procedure can be done using traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, and it helps relieve symptoms, restore hormonal balance, and prevent further health issues. Recovery time varies, and patients may require hormone replacement if both glands are removed.
