In Which Cases Is Above Kidney Gland Surgery Necessary?

Treatments Offered in Abdominal Gland Surgery

Adrenalectomy
This is the surgical removal of all or part of the adrenal gland. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is a minimally invasive method and provides a faster recovery time. Open surgery may be preferred for larger tumours or complex cases.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgical techniques are performed through smaller incisions and allow patients to recover faster. These methods allow the surgeon to act more precisely during surgery.
Partial Adrenalectomy
It is a method in which only the diseased part is removed instead of removing the entire gland. This is done to preserve hormone production.
Bilateral Adrenalectomy
It is the removal of a single nodule. It is performed depending on the size and structure of the nodule and the patient's symptoms.

    Curious Questions

    Adrenal gland surgery is a surgical intervention performed due to tumours or other abnormalities occurring in the adrenal glands. These glands play an important role in hormone production and maintaining body balance.

    Adrenal gland tumours can be benign (benign) or malignant (malignant). Surgical intervention may be required if there is significant hormone production, growth or suspicion of malignancy.

    Surgery is usually performed laparoscopically (closed) or open. Laparoscopic surgery uses smaller incisions and the healing process is usually faster.

    The recovery process varies depending on the type of surgery and the patient’s general state of health. After laparoscopic surgery, patients are usually discharged within a few days and can return to their normal activities within a few weeks.

    As with any surgical intervention, adrenal gland surgery carries some risks. Risks such as infection, bleeding, damage to neighbouring organs may occur, although rarely.

    There may be temporary or permanent changes in hormone levels after surgery. Patients should be monitored regularly after surgery and hormone replacement therapy should be administered if necessary.

    In the post-surgical period, you should use your medication as recommended by your doctor and do not neglect your regular check-ups. In addition, attention should be paid to wound care and nutrition.

    In cases such as rapid growth of tumours in the adrenal gland, severe disturbance of hormone levels or suspicion of malignancy, urgent surgical intervention may be required.
