Robot-Assisted Adrenalectomy
Definition
Robot-assisted adrenalectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves the use of a robotic system to remove one or both adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are small, triangular-shaped glands located on top of each kidney, responsible for producing hormones that regulate various bodily functions. This procedure is typically performed to treat conditions such as adrenal tumors, Cushing's syndrome, or pheochromocytoma.
