Robotic adrenalectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed using robotic technology to remove one or both of the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands, which are positioned on top of the kidneys, produce hormones that govern different body activities such as metabolism, blood pressure, and stress response.

How long does a robotic adrenalectomy procedure take?
The duration of the robotic adrenalectomy procedure can vary depending on various factors, including the complexity of the case and the surgeon's experience. On average, the procedure may take between 1 to 3 hours.
Will I need hormone replacement therapy after robotic adrenalectomy?
The need for hormone replacement therapy depends on the reason for the adrenalectomy. If one or both adrenal glands were removed due to hormonal disorders or overactive tumors, hormone replacement therapy may be necessary. It is important to work closely with an endocrinologist or hormone specialist to monitor hormone levels and determine appropriate treatment.
Will I have visible scars after robotic adrenalectomy?
Robotic adrenalectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves small incisions. These incisions are usually placed in inconspicuous locations and often result in small scars that fade over time. The cosmetic outcome is generally favorable compared to open surgery
What are the potential complications of robotic adrenalectomy?
While robotic adrenalectomy is generally associated with lower risks of complications compared to open surgery, there are still potential risks involved. These can include bleeding, infection, organ damage, anesthesia-related risks, and complications specific to adrenal surgery. Your surgeon will discuss these risks with you prior to the procedure.
