Robotic-assisted adrenalectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove one or both adrenal glands. The adrenal glands, located above the kidneys, produce essential hormones that regulate metabolism, blood pressure, and stress response. This procedure is performed using the da Vinci robotic system, allowing for greater precision, smaller incisions, and faster recovery compared to traditional open or laparoscopic surgery.
Patients with adrenal gland disorders may require surgery if they have:
Adrenal tumors (benign or malignant)
Functioning adrenal tumors causing hormonal imbalances (e.g., pheochromocytoma, Cushing’s syndrome, Conn’s syndrome)
Adrenal metastases (cancer spread from other organs)
Adrenal hyperplasia or large adrenal masses
A thorough evaluation by Dr. Sachin Arakere Nataraj, a highly skilled robotic urologist and renal transplant surgeon, will determine if robotic-assisted adrenalectomy is the best treatment option.
✅ Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions lead to reduced pain and scarring.
✅ Greater Precision: The robotic system enhances surgical accuracy and control.
✅ Faster Recovery: Shorter hospital stay and quicker return to normal activities.
✅ Lower Complication Risk: Reduced blood loss and minimal risk of infection.
✅ Better Cosmetic Outcomes: Tiny incisions result in less noticeable scars.
❌ Availability: Requires specialized robotic surgical expertise and advanced facilities.
❌ Cost: Can be more expensive than traditional laparoscopic surgery.
❌ Learning Curve: Requires highly trained surgeons like Dr. Sachin Arakere Nataraj for optimal results.
❌ Not Suitable for All Patients: Certain complex cases may require open surgery.
