What surgery is needed to remove an adrenal cyst



Surgery for adrenal cysts usually includes adrenal cystectomy or adrenalectomy.

1. Adrenal cystectomy: When adrenal cysts are benign, patients usually need to choose adrenal cystectomy to remove the diseased area, which can effectively control the condition and reduce the probability of recurrence of adrenal tumor.

2. Adrenalectomy: When adrenal cysts are malignant, patients may need to choose adrenalectomy to remove the whole adrenal gland, which can prevent the cancer cells from metastasizing to other parts of the body and reduce the damage to the surrounding tissues or organs.

Patients with adrenal cysts should go to the hospital in time and choose the appropriate surgical treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
