The surgical approach for adrenal adenoma depends on the size of the tumor. If the tumor is relatively small, a laparoscopic minimally invasive procedure can be performed to remove the tumor. However, if the tumor is large, a complete adrenalectomy—removal of the entire adrenal gland—is required. During this period, it is important to stay relaxed and avoid excessive stress.
