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.
