Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy

Adrenalectomy removes one or both adrenal glands, typically for tumors like pheochromocytoma, adrenal cancer, or hormone overproduction disorders (e.g., Cushing’s syndrome). Symptoms include high blood pressure, weight gain, fatigue, or hormonal imbalances like excessive sweating or anxiety. The laparoscopic approach uses small incisions, offering faster recovery and less pain than open surgery. The procedure removes the affected gland, preserving kidney function. Risks include bleeding, infection, or hormonal deficiencies requiring lifelong replacement therapy. Recovery involves a short hospital stay and weeks of healing, with close monitoring of hormone levels. Patients may need medication adjustments and follow-ups to manage adrenal insufficiency. The minimally invasive technique is effective for benign and early-stage malignant tumors, improving symptoms and quality of life. Early intervention is key to preventing complications from hormone imbalances.
