Sometimes, adrenal gland tumours—whether hormone-producing or potentially cancerous—require surgical removal. By carefully removing one gland, we can resolve symptoms and protect your long-term health without sacrificing adrenal function.
Adrenal surgery involves removing one adrenal gland—usually using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques. This applies to tumours that are producing excess hormones or carry a risk of cancer, ensuring safe treatment with minimal impact.
Adrenal tumours may produce excess hormones causing high blood pressure, weight changes, or metabolic issues—or pose a risk of malignancy. Surgery corrects these problems while the remaining gland continues normal hormone production.
Most patients experience normalization of hormone levels and relief from symptoms following surgery. Recovery of adrenal function is typically excellent, and long-term health is maintained with only one gland.
Hospital stays usually last 2–3 nights post-surgery. Recovery spans about two weeks, depending on your job and health, after which you can gradually resume normal activities under guidance.
Your care includes comprehensive collaboration. An endocrinologist manages hormonal evaluation before and after surgery, with personalised advice on postop care, monitoring, and long-term follow-up to ensure well-being.
