Adrenal surgery, also known as adrenalectomy, is a surgical procedure to remove one or both adrenal glands, which are small glands located on top of each kidney. These glands produce hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline, aldosterone, and sex hormones, which are crucial for regulating metabolism, immune response, blood pressure, and stress responses. Adrenal surgery is typically performed to remove tumors that may be benign or malignant, including adenomas, pheochromocytomas, adrenocortical carcinomas, or metastases from other cancers. Other indications for adrenalectomy include hyperaldosteronism (excessive production of aldosterone) and Cushing's syndrome (excess cortisol production), which may cause high blood pressure, weight gain, and other systemic effects. There are two main types of adrenal surgery: laparoscopic (minimally invasive) and open surgery. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is preferred when the tumors are small and benign, as it involves smaller incisions, less pain, and a quicker recovery time. Open surgery may be necessary for larger or potentially cancerous tumors.
While adrenal surgery is generally safe, it carries potential risks and complications. These can include bleeding, infection, damage to surrounding organs, and hormone imbalances that may require lifelong hormone replacement therapy. In cases where both adrenal glands are removed, patients will need to take corticosteroid medications to replace the hormones no longer produced by the glands. Recovery typically involves monitoring for hormone levels and managing any side effects or complications from surgery. Regular follow-up with an endocrinologist is essential to adjust medication and ensure long-term health and stability.
