is adrenal gland surgery dangerous - #26840

Raj

I am really worried about my upcoming surgery on my adrenal gland. They found a tumor, and at first, it seemed small, but after a few tests, the doctors said it needs to come out. I'm just not sure what to think. I mean, is adrenal gland surgery dangerous? Like, what are the real risks here? My friend says she had a relative who had complications, and now I'm freaking out! I've been doing research, and every site says there are risks involved, which is totally understandable, but then I read about how many people have successful outcomes as well. I just want to know how dangerous this surgery really is. They told me I might have to stay in the hospital for a few days, and I can’t help but panic about infection or something bad happening while I’m there. I also don’t really know much about the recovery process—do I need help at home? How long until I can get back to normal? I guess I’m just looking for some reassurance or maybe some real stories from anyone who’s been through adrenal gland surgery? Is adrenal gland surgery dangerous enough that I should consider a second opinion? I hope someone out there can help put my mind at ease!
