Adrenal surgery addresses disorders arising from the adrenal glands, including adrenal tumours and conditions associated with excessive hormone production. Apollo Adlux Hospital provides surgical management for pheochromocytoma, Conn’s syndrome or primary hyperaldosteronism, nonfunctional adrenal adenoma and Cushing’s syndrome caused by an adrenal tumour.
Adrenalectomy is the principal surgical procedure for appropriate adrenal conditions requiring removal of the affected gland or tumour. Pheochromocytoma requires specialised endocrine assessment and careful surgical planning because of its hormone-producing nature. Conn’s syndrome, characterised by excessive aldosterone production, may also require adrenal surgery in selected patients.
Nonfunctional adrenal adenomas are evaluated according to their clinical characteristics before determining whether surgery is appropriate. Patients with Cushing’s syndrome caused by an adrenal tumour may require adrenalectomy as part of definitive management. The department also lists surgery for failed pituitary surgery in patients with Cushing’s disease among its adrenal surgical services.
Laparoscopic or keyhole adrenal surgery is available, and the department's FAQ also confirms robotic adrenal surgery. Minimally invasive techniques may offer smaller incisions, less postoperative discomfort and faster recovery compared with conventional open approaches in appropriately selected cases.
Hormonal evaluation plays an important role in determining the nature and functional status of an adrenal lesion. Endocrinology and endocrine surgery expertise are integrated to support comprehensive assessment, surgical planning and management of complex adrenal disorders.
