What are Adrenal Glands?
The adrenal gland is a small, triangle-shaped organ located above each kidney. They make hormones that are essential for your body. Adrenalectomy is the surgical removal of one or both adrenal glands when they become cancerous or produce too many hormones.
Causes & Symptoms of Adrenal Gland Disorder
A tumour in the adrenal gland is the most common cause of adrenal gland dysfunction, resulting in the production of too many hormones. To bring hormone levels back to normal, doctors perform an adrenalectomy and remove the tumour along with the adrenal gland. This dysfunction may occur due to a disturbed menstrual cycle, food habits, physical activity, genetics, and many other factors.
Symptoms
- Severe headaches
- Sweating
- Anxiety and rapid heartbeat
- Frequent urination
- High blood pressure
- Increase in body weight
Treatment of Adrenal Gland
Medications
Your doctor may also recommend medications to stop the tumour from producing too many hormones if you are not a candidate for surgery.
Hormone therapy or Chemotherapy
In this method, certain chemicals are used to kill the excessive hormones and normalise the hormone level in the body or to reduce the progression of tumours in the adrenal gland.
Radionuclide therapy
High-powered energy beams, such as X-rays and protons, are used in radiation therapy to kill the tumor. Radiation therapy is occasionally used to eliminate any potential leftover cells after surgery for the adrenal gland.
Open Adrenalectomy
Your healthcare provider may ask to perform an open adrenalectomy if the tumour diagnosed is large or cancerous. In this process, the surgeon will make one long incision on your abdomen and remove the tumour along with the gland. The remaining other glands release enough hormones to keep you healthy.
Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy
If the tumour is small or benign, your doctor may suggest going through laparoscopy. Small, 4–6-inch incisions are made in the abdomen to remove a cancerous adrenal gland.
Advantages
- Short hospital stays
- Faster recovery
- Smaller scars
- Less pain
- Less chance of infection
Challenges
- Damage to other organs
- Injury and bleeding
- Hormone deficiency
- CO2 gas may create discomfort
- Short-term pain and swelling
Cost of Adrenal Gland Surgery
The cost of Laparoscopic adrenalectomy ranges between Rs. 70,000 and Rs. 1,50,000. Depending on the size of the tumour and its complications, the cost changes. It also depends upon multiple factors, such as the severity of the patient's condition, complications, and the type of treatment they choose.
