Overview

Adrenalectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of one or both adrenal glands. These small, hormone-producing glands sit above each kidney and are critical to the endocrine system. They influence growth, development, metabolism, and sexual function. Surgeons often prefer laparoscopic adrenalectomy due to its minimal invasiveness, fewer sutures, and faster recovery

Procedure Details

Before recommending adrenalectomy, doctors conduct thorough clinical evaluations: A: If only one gland is removed, the other typically compensates. If both glands are removed, lifelong hormone replacement therapy is necessary. A: Lung complications like pneumonia and atelectasis occur in about 6% of open adrenalectomy cases. Other risks include bleeding, blood clots, and wound infection
