Minimally Invasive Surgery for Adrenal Tumors
H. Leon Pachter, MD, chair of NYU Langone's Department of Surgery, discusses how the treatment of adrenal tumors requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving endocrinologists, nephrologists, radiologists, pathologists, and surgeons.
The minimally invasive approach to removing adrenal tumors includes making small, keyhole incisions to insert a high-definition camera, which allows surgeons to see better with the camera than they can with the naked eye.
"Patients have much less pain in the recovery period, and as they have much less pain, they recover quickly and can go home much earlier," Dr. Pachter explains.
