ENDOCRINE SURGERY
Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy
When the adrenal gland produces too many hormones, it can affect the entire body – laparoscopic removal provides relief.
A gentle procedure using keyhole technique, planned interdisciplinarily with endocrinology.
The Procedure
Laparoscopic removal of one or both adrenal glands. Indications: hormone-producing tumors (adenomas, pheochromocytomas) or enlargements. Minimally invasive via keyhole technique.
Why This Procedure
Outcomes
Safe surgical treatment of hormone-producing adrenal tumors using state-of-the-art technology.
Close coordination with endocrinology for optimal pre- and post-operative care.
Close collaboration with endocrinology for optimal pre- and post-operative care in hormone-producing tumors.
Eligibility
“Adrenal operations require specialized expertise. The laparoscopic technique is the standard today.”Univ.-Prof. Dr. Gerhard Prager
Frequently Asked Questions
Surgery is recommended for hormone-producing tumors (e.g., Conn's syndrome, Cushing's syndrome, pheochromocytoma) or for enlargements of 4 cm or more (incidentaloma), in order to resolve hormonal disorders or rule out possible malignancy.
Through three to four small incisions (5-12 mm), a camera and fine instruments are inserted. The adrenal gland is precisely dissected and removed. Compared to open surgery, this means less pain and faster recovery.
The hospital stay is 1-3 days. Most patients can resume their normal activities after about one week. An endocrinological follow-up ensures hormonal balance.
