Laparoscopic adrenalectomy
Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove one or both adrenal glands, which are small organs located above the kidneys. Using thin tubes called trocars inserted through small incisions, the surgeon views and guides instruments on a camera to carefully remove the gland. This approach results in less pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. It's commonly performed for conditions like tumors or hormone imbalances originating from the adrenal glands, offering a safe and effective treatment with minimal disruption to daily life.
