Minimally invasive surgery for adrenal tumor

The adrenal gland grows above the kidneys. It is an endocrine organ in the human body that secretes a certain amount of adrenaline to maintain normal blood pressure and heart rate. It plays an indispensable role in maintaining the normal functions of our body. As the name suggests, adrenaloma is a tumor that grows on the adrenal gland. It will definitely have a certain impact on our body. It can be benign or malignant, and can generally be removed with minimally invasive surgery.

1. Currently, laparoscopic surgery has become the most commonly used method for removing adrenal tumors. Its advantages include the following two aspects: 1. Minimally invasive, that is, only three small holes with a diameter of 1 cm are needed on the skin to complete the tumor removal, and the postoperative recovery is very fast; 2. Clear, due to the magnifying effect of the laparoscope, the deeply located adrenal glands are right in front of the eyes, achieving a clear field of vision that open surgery cannot match, and more accurate removal of tumor tissue.

2. Tumors can be divided into benign and malignant. Regardless of the nature of the tumor, if it is large, the preferred treatment is surgery. If it is difficult to judge the specific situation, it is recommended to go to the urology department for treatment. The doctor will handle and treat it according to the specific situation. Just actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. Any surgery has certain risks.

3. Currently, laparoscopic surgery has become the most commonly used method for removing adrenal tumors. Its advantages are obvious. First, it is minimally invasive, that is, only a few small holes with a diameter of 1 cm are needed on the skin to complete the tumor removal, and the recovery after surgery is very fast.

4. It is generally considered to be a benign tumor and surgery is safe, but there is a possibility of endocrine disorders after the operation. According to the description, the patient has an adrenal tumor. If it is a benign tumor, it is generally better to treat and the risk is smaller. If it is a malignant tumor, the risk will be greater. At the same time, pay attention to strengthening nutrition and it is also important to maintain a stable mood. Generally, if there are no benign symptoms on the surface of the skin, surgery is not necessary. If the cancer is easily removed during surgery, it will not metastasize after removal and recurrence is rare.

5. Surgical treatment is generally recommended for benign adrenal tumors, with pathological examination performed after surgery. The recurrence rate is low, and it is recommended not to have psychological pressure. Benign tumor refers to the abnormal proliferation of cells in certain tissues of the body, which grows in an expansive and relatively slow manner. As the tumor continues to grow, it may squeeze the surrounding tissues, and the tumor is mostly spherical or nodular. A capsule is often formed around it, thus clearly demarcating it from normal tissue and it can be moved by touching or pushing it.

6. This surgery is not high-risk. If the patient is not properly cared for after surgery, it may cause some complications, such as nerve and muscle damage, peritoneal damage, solid organ damage, vascular damage, gastrointestinal damage, etc. Postoperative care methods for adrenal tumors include observing blood pressure, observing changes in urine volume, preventing infection, drainage tube care, dietary care, rest and exercise, etc.
