Aftereffects of adrenal tumor surgery

Adrenal tumor surgery is performed by cutting off the adrenal glands together, so it may cause the body to have insufficient secretion of adrenal hormones. Hormones such as glucocorticoids, epinephrine, and steroids may be underproduced, which may cause symptoms such as weakness, lower blood pressure, weight loss, and depression. Post-surgery may also be accompanied by non-healing surgical incisions or incisional infections. Long-term non-healing incisions may form sinus tracts, leading to a decrease in the patient’s quality of life. Patients may also experience unstable blood pressure, dizziness, and tinnitus. Patients may also experience metastasis or recurrence of adrenal tumors, resulting in the need for secondary surgery. The patient’s nearby organs, nerves and blood vessels may also be damaged during surgery, resulting in the patient’s symptoms after surgery. Therefore, before performing adrenal tumor surgery, it is important to strictly grasp the indications for surgery and do the routine preoperative examination. Operate gently and carefully during the operation, and try not to cause postoperative side injuries and sequelae.
