Precision Diagnosis and Staging
1. Comprehensive Oncology Consultation
The successful treatment of an adrenal tumor begins with an exact understanding of its size, location, and hormonal activity.
Your Consultation in Istanbul:
- Advanced Imaging: Utilizing high-resolution CT and MRI scans to precisely locate the tumor and determine its relationship to surrounding organs.
- Endocrine Evaluation: Comprehensive blood and urine tests to assess hormone levels (such as cortisol or adrenaline) produced by the tumor.
- Multidisciplinary Board: Your case is reviewed by a team of surgical oncologists and endocrinologists to define the safest surgical approach.
Minimally Invasive Precision
2. Surgical Excellence in Adrenalectomy
Our surgical teams specialize in removing the adrenal gland (adrenalectomy) using the most advanced, minimally invasive techniques available.
Surgical Approaches:
- Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy: Removing the tumor through small incisions, significantly reducing pain, scarring, and recovery time.
- Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Utilizing robotic precision for complex tumors, allowing for exact tissue dissection in the difficult-to-reach retroperitoneal space.
- Open Surgery: Reserved for very large or invasive tumors to ensure complete, safe removal with clear margins.
The priority is complete tumor removal while preserving surrounding healthy kidney and vascular tissue.
Restoring Your Body's Balance
3. Post-Operative Hormonal Support
Because the adrenal glands produce essential hormones, recovery from an adrenalectomy requires dedicated endocrine support.
Recovery Milestones:
- ICU Monitoring: You may spend the first 24 hours in the Intensive Care Unit to monitor blood pressure and hormone levels closely.
- Hormone Replacement: If both glands are affected or the remaining gland needs time to recover, we provide tailored hormone replacement therapy.
- Nutritional Support: A specialized diet is provided during your hospital stay to aid cellular recovery and support immune function.
Our expert endocrinologists will monitor your progress daily to ensure a smooth, stable recovery.
