Adrenal gland removal, what can i expect during and after the procedure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: These are done laparoscopically or robotically now. Most patients are in over night (depending on indication). Scars are similar to gallbladder surgery in size. Most people take pain pills for about a week or less. U can be on light duty in 2 wks.
