Pediatric Adrenal Gland Surgery

Pediatric adrenal gland surgery involves surgical procedures to address issues related to the adrenal glands in children. These glands, located on top of the kidneys, produce hormones that regulate metabolism, immune response, and stress. Surgery may be needed to remove tumors, treat adrenal gland disorders, or manage congenital abnormalities. The procedure is typically done using minimally invasive techniques, leading to quicker recovery. Pediatric surgeons, who specialize in treating children, ensure that the surgery is safe and tailored to young patients, considering their unique anatomical and physiological needs. Post-surgery, ongoing care is important to monitor hormone levels and overall health.
