University Hospital provides specialized Adrenalectomy with a focus on precise tumor removal, minimally invasive surgery where appropriate, hormonal management, and comprehensive postoperative care. Established in 1842, the SAChospital is located in Basel, Switzerland, and operates 773 beds, with modern surgical and endocrine infrastructure.
Adrenalectomy is performed to remove one or, in selected circumstances, both adrenal glands when affected by a tumor or other significant adrenal disorder. The surgical approach depends on the tumor's size, location, hormonal activity, and suspected pathology. Laparoscopic or robotic adrenalectomy may be appropriate for selected benign lesions, while open surgery may be required for larger or potentially malignant tumors. Preoperative endocrine assessment is particularly important for hormone-secreting tumors, and postoperative monitoring helps manage changes in hormone levels and support recovery.
At Paracelsus Clinic, Adrenalectomy is performed using advanced minimally invasive and open surgical techniques, with personalised treatment plans tailored to the patient's adrenal condition. Established in 1953, this hospital in Lustmuhle, Switzerland has 95 beds and provides comprehensive endocrine and surgical services.
Adrenalectomy may be considered for patients with adrenal tumors that produce excess hormones, show suspicious characteristics, or cause significant symptoms. It may also be used in selected cases of adrenal cancer or other adrenal disorders. Before surgery, doctors may perform hormonal blood or urine tests and imaging, such as CT or MRI, to evaluate the adrenal glands. Depending on the clinical situation, the affected gland may be removed through laparoscopic, robotic, or open surgery.
