Adrenal gland removal; Removal of adrenal glands

There is a slight risk of infection or bleeding with any invasive procedure. Call your health care provider if you notice any signs of infection (such as fever, muscle aches, or drainage from the incision site) or bleeding.

It is important to have the procedure done at a center that is experienced in adrenal gland removal.
