Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy

This procedure is mostly used for adrenal lesions suitable for minimally invasive surgery. It commonly uses a transabdominal or retroperitoneal approach, selected by specialist evaluation. Usually, pneumoperitoneum is established under general anesthesia, trocars are placed, and the adrenal gland is separated using high-definition endoscopy and energy devices. The adrenal vein is identified and treated before the lesion is removed, the specimen is bagged and removed, and hemostasis is achieved. If necessary, part of the gland can be preserved or a drain can be placed. Postoperative early monitoring of blood pressure, blood sugar, and electrolytes, with attention to changes in hormone levels and pain control, aims at lesion removal and endocrine stability. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
