Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy<\/a> is a laparoscopically performed surgery to remove the adrenal glands. A patient might require laparoscopic adrenalectomy<\/strong> if he or she has a tumor on one or more of the adrenal glands. Many times a tumor on the adrenal gland can impair proper hormone regulation, causing uncomfortable symptoms in the patient. Patients who require a laparoscopic adrenalectomy experience symptoms such as excessive sweating, rapid heart beat, nervous feelings, anxiety, chest or abdominal pain and weight loss. This is due to the improper function of the adrenal gland, which has been altered because of the presence of the tumor. Even when the tumor is not malignant, many doctors recommend laparoscopic adrenalectomy<\/a><\/strong> for the removal of the benign growth if it is affecting the function of the adrenal glands, or if the growth is very large.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dr. Michael Feiz, M.D., FACS\u00a0is a seasoned specialist in laparoscopic adrenalectomy. During laparoscopic adrenalectomy, three to five tiny incisions are made which allow the doctor to perform the surgery with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. A laparoscopic camera projects a video of the adrenal gland and the tumor onto a large screen, which allows the doctor to perform the surgery with minimal incisions. There are many benefits to having an adrenal tumor removed through laparoscopic adrenalectomy<\/strong>, including a faster recovery time, less post-operative pain, shorter hospitalization, and the ability to return to regular daily activities much faster. Thanks to our vast knowledge about nutritional, hormonal and weight loss issues, The Dr. Feiz & Associates Centro de p\u00e9rdida de peso<\/strong> is well qualified to perform laparoscopic adrenalectomy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Laparoscopic adrenalectomy<\/a> is the procedure of choice for benign (non-cancerous) adrenal tumors. Laparoscopic surgery<\/a> has proved to be a major advancement for the management of adrenal tumors.<\/p>\n

Patients that have undergone laparoscopic surgery<\/strong> have much shorter hospitalization (the average hospitalization after a laparoscopic procedure is one to two days compared to five to seven days after an open procedure), more rapid recovery (approximately 2 weeks compared to 4 to 8 weeks after open surgery) and earlier return to work. The postoperative pain is markedly reduced after laparoscopic surgery<\/a> and the general feeling of physical well being returns at a much faster rate.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Adrenal Tumors<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Tumors of the adrenal glands arise from the cortex or the medulla part of the adrenal gland. Adrenal tumors commonly present because symptoms from excess secretion of hormones by the tumor.<\/p>\n

The tumors from the adrenal cortex produce excess secretion of steroid hormones and aldosterone and tumors from the adrenal medulla produce excessive amounts of catecholamines.<\/p>\n

Adrenal tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancer). Often this separation is difficult to make and long term close follow up is necessary after removal to detect recurrences early in patients who have adrenal cancer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
