Why Adrenalectomy Is Needed
Performed to remove adrenal tumors that are hormonally active, producing excess cortisol, aldosterone, or catecholamines as in pheochromocytoma, or that are large enough to raise concern for malignancy. It's also done for adrenal cancer or, less commonly, for metastatic disease confined to one adrenal gland.
Signs You May Need Adrenalectomy
Depending on the hormone involved, patients may notice high blood pressure that's hard to control, unexplained weight gain with a rounded face and stretch marks, episodes of severe headache, palpitations, and sweating, or muscle weakness and low potassium. Some adrenal tumors are found incidentally on a scan without any symptoms at all.
Types of Adrenalectomy
Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the standard approach for most benign and smaller tumors, offering faster recovery, while open adrenalectomy through a larger abdominal or flank incision is reserved for large tumors or suspected cancer requiring wider access. Robotic-assisted adrenalectomy is also increasingly used as a minimally invasive alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I live normally with one adrenal gland?
Yes, the remaining adrenal gland typically compensates fully, and most people live a completely normal life after removal of one gland.
How long is the hospital stay?
Laparoscopic adrenalectomy usually requires a hospital stay of about 3-5 days, shorter than the open approach.
Will I need hormone replacement after surgery?
Only if both adrenal glands are removed, in which case lifelong steroid replacement is necessary; single-gland removal usually doesn't require this.
Is the tumor always cancerous?
No, most adrenal tumors requiring surgery are benign but hormone-producing; your doctor will assess malignancy risk with scans and hormone tests beforehand.
What is the recovery like?
Recovery after laparoscopic surgery generally takes 3-6 weeks, with most people resuming normal activity gradually within that period.
