Doctors of the General Surgery Department, Central Endocrinology Hospital successfully operated on a 60-year-old female patient with adrenal tumor with increased cortisol secretion (Cushing's syndrome) on the basis of many complex medical conditions, helping the patient stabilize her health and improve the treatment prognosis.
The patient was diagnosed with adrenal gland tumor with increased cortisol secretion - a condition that causes systemic endocrine disorders and seriously affects many organs. Notably, the patient has a history of a series of serious medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, accompanied by sequelae of right hemiplegia after a stroke and is in tracheostomy.
Doctors assessed this as a difficult case, high risk because the tumor is not only localized damage but also causes prolonged hormonal disorders, leading to many systemic complications. In addition, the underlying disease is severe, mobility is reduced, and tracheostomy poses a great risk of respiratory complications, infections, as well as post-operative problems.
The patient had a multi-specialized consultation to develop a suitable treatment regimen. Doctors strictly control endocrine indicators, blood pressure, blood sugar and closely monitor the overall condition to optimize preoperative health conditions.
After a careful preparation process, the surgical team successfully performed an endoscopic adrenal gland removal surgery. The surgery took place smoothly, ensuring safety. After surgery, the patient continued to receive intensive postoperative care and close monitoring.
Currently, the patient's health is stable, blood pressure, blood sugar and endocrine levels are effectively controlled.
According to doctors, the success of the surgery not only helps remove the tumor but also contributes to reducing the risk of long-term complications caused by hormonal disorders.
Adrenal gland tumors can progress silently but contain many serious consequences, especially when the tumor increases hormone secretion. People need to see a doctor early if signs such as uncontrollable hypertension, blood disorders, muscle weakness, prolonged fatigue, abnormal weight gain or changes in appearance appear to be detected and treated promptly.
