Adrenal Gland Surgery is a procedure to remove tumors or lesions from the adrenal glands, which sit on top of the kidneys. These tumors can lead to various issues such as hormone imbalances, hypertension, or, in some cases, cancer.
The surgery can be performed laparoscopically or through an open approach, depending on the tumor's size, location, and nature. If the tumor is benign, the procedure may involve removal of just the tumor, while cancerous tumors may require removal of the entire adrenal gland.
Postoperative care includes managing pain, monitoring for complications such as infection or bleeding, and ensuring proper hormone levels. Depending on the cause of the tumor, hormone replacement therapy may be needed.
Adrenal gland surgery is crucial for treating hormone-producing tumors and adrenal cancers, offering improved health outcomes and preventing further complications.
