Adrenalectomy surgery removes one or both adrenal glands located just above the kidneys. These glands make essential hormones that control metabolism, stress response, and blood pressure. When a tumor grows or a gland produces too many hormones, adrenalectomy may be required to restore balance and prevent health problems.
At Medicover Hospitals, adrenalectomy is performed using advanced laparoscopic or robotic methods. These techniques cause less pain, reduce hospital stay, and help patients recover faster.
What is Adrenalectomy Surgery?
An adrenalectomy is the removal of one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) adrenal glands. The adrenal glands release vital hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, and adrenaline. These regulate metabolism, blood pressure, and stress response. The surgery is usually suggested for tumors, cancer, or hormone-related disorders.
Types of Adrenalectomy:
Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy: A minimally invasive technique with small cuts and a camera, offering faster healing.
Open Adrenalectomy: A traditional approach used for large or cancerous tumors that require more access.

Yes, you can live with one adrenal gland because it produces enough hormones for the body's needs. If both glands are removed, hormone replacement therapy is essential to maintain proper body functions.
Adrenal gland surgery usually causes mild to moderate discomfort. Pain is most noticeable near the incision site but is effectively managed with prescribed medications. Most people feel better within a few days.
After adrenalectomy, hormone levels may fluctuate until the body adjusts or until hormone replacement begins if both glands were removed. Over time, the body restores normal hormonal balance and energy levels.
Some people may experience minor weight changes after adrenalectomy due to hormonal adjustments. Maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and following medical guidance can help stabilize weight.
