This database contains information on Adrenal Surgery resources in the United States. Adrenal surgery is performed by Endocrinology Surgeons. Endocrine surgery is a specialized field of general surgery in which surgeons with expertise in endocrine disorders diagnose and treat patients with diseases of the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands, as well as the pancreas and gastrointestinal tract.  

The adrenal glands wrap around the top of each kidney, and are about the size of a grape. They consist of an outer layer (Adrenal Cortex), and the inner layer called the Adrenal Medulla. 

Adrenal Gland Surgery is called for usually when a growth, either malignant or benign, is growing on either adrenal gland and is interfering with the gland's normal production of steroids.
