    Glossary Bilateral Adrenalectomy

    surgical removal of both adrenal glands

    Bilateral Adrenalectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of both adrenal glands, which are small glands located on top of each kidney. This surgery is typically performed to treat conditions such as Cushing's syndrome, adrenal tumors, or hyperaldosteronism when other treatments have failed. Removing both adrenal glands necessitates lifelong hormone replacement therapy to compensate for the loss of adrenal hormones.
