Adrenalectomy in Mysuru Sorting, Mysuru, Karnataka

What is Adrenalectomy?

Surgical removal of one or both adrenal glands for tumors or other adrenal conditions

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.
