An adrenalectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one or both adrenal glands, and is typically performed to remove a hormone-secreting tumor. The anesthetic approach to this procedure varies depending on the hormones produced by the tumor. If the tumor is a pheochromocytoma, unique considerations for preoperative optimization and perioperative management are required (see excision of pheochromocytoma).
