Adrenalectomy and Lympha­denectomy

High-precision oncological surgeries with minimal invasion

Dr. Rodrigo León Mar, specialist in advanced urologic oncology in Mexico City, offers safe and effective procedures for the treatment of adrenal tumors and lymph nodes.

What is adrenalectomy?

Adrenalectomy is the surgery that consists of the removal of one or both adrenal glands.

Adrenalectomy is indicated for:

  • Benign tumors that produce excess hormones.
  • Malignant tumors of the adrenal gland.
  • Metastases in the adrenal gland from other cancers.

Modern surgical options

Robotic Surgery or Laparoscopy

With small incisions, less pain, and rapid recovery.

Open surgery

Indicated for very large or invasive tumors.

What is lymphadenectomy?

Lymphadenectomy is the removal of lymph nodes, generally indicated when there is a possibility that cancer has spread.

In urology, it is primarily used for:

  • Prostate cancer
  • Bladder cancer
  • Kidney and testicular cancer

Benefits of minimally invasive lymphadenectomy

Precision to identify and remove affected nodes

Lower risk of complications

Faster recovery

Compared to open surgery.


Advantages of robotic and laparoscopic surgery for adrenalectomy and lymphadenectomy

  • Less postoperative pain.
  • Less bleeding and reduced need for transfusions.
  • Shorter hospital stay.
  • Faster recovery to resume daily life.
  • Greater surgical precision, with better preservation of healthy structures.
