Adrenal Tumor Treatment
As a urologist and advanced laparoscopic surgeon, I play a key role in diagnosing and treating adrenal tumors. My focus is to first understand whether a tumor is affecting your hormones or overall health, and then choose the safest, most effective treatment for you. Using high‑resolution imaging, hormone testing, and minimally invasive surgery when needed, my goal is to remove or control the tumor while protecting your adrenal function and helping you return to a normal, active life.
Understanding Adrenal Tumors
The adrenal glands are small, triangle-shaped organs located on top of each kidney. Adrenal tumors occur when abnormal cells grow in these glands, potentially affecting your body’s hormone production and overall balance.
Most adrenal tumors are benign (non-cancerous) adenomas that may not cause symptoms. However, some tumors can be malignant (cancerous) or "functioning," meaning they produce excessive amounts of vital hormones like cortisol or adrenaline, which requires expert medical intervention.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Understanding the signs of adrenal tumors is the first step toward effective treatment. Our clinic utilizes advanced imaging and hormonal testing for precise diagnosis.
High Blood Pressure
Sudden or difficult-to-control hypertension can often be linked to adrenal gland overactivity.
Hormonal Changes
Unexplained weight gain, skin changes, or mood swings may indicate excessive hormone production.
Fatigue & Weakness
Persistent tiredness and muscle weakness are common signs of adrenal imbalance or tumor presence.
Advanced Imaging
We use state-of-the-art CT and MRI scanning to accurately locate and assess adrenal abnormalities.

Safety & Recovery FAQs
Is adrenal tumor surgery safe?
Yes. Our clinic specializes in minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, which significantly reduce the risk of complications, lower blood loss, and enhance patient safety compared to traditional open surgery.
What is the typical recovery time?
Most patients who undergo laparoscopic adrenalectomy are able to return home within 1-2 days. Full recovery and return to normal activities typically takes about 2 to 4 weeks, depending on individual health factors.
What are the risks involved?
While any surgery has risks, such as infection or bleeding, our precise surgical approach minimizes these. We perform thorough pre-operative assessments to manage hormonal balances, ensuring the safest possible outcome.
