Laparoscopic Adrenal Surgery

The adrenal glands are located deep in the abdomen, above the kidneys and behind the liver. They are responsible for production of many important hormones and occasionally become enlarged causing diseases like 'pheochromocytoma' or 'cushings disease'. Dr Maccabee specializes in removing diseased adrenal glands using MIS techniques, greatly benefiting patients who previously had to travel to large metro medical centers in LA or San Francisco for this procedure. Recently he performed the first laparoscopic adrenalectomy at MRMC
