More About Adrenal Care
Our multidisciplinary program brings together the expertise of our surgeons and medical specialists, along with the full resources of BIDMC, to deliver outstanding care for patients with adrenal disorders.
Comprehensive Medical Services
Many adrenal conditions cause the overproduction of hormones, leading to symptoms such as high blood pressure. Our comprehensive Hypertension Clinic, supported by an endocrinology team specializing in adrenal disorders, provides expert evaluation and treatment for these complex cases.
Advanced Diagnostic Services
Diagnosing and treating adrenal diseases often requires advanced testing and technology. Our center is equipped with state-of-the-art imaging tools, including CT, PET, and nuclear imaging scanners. We also offer adrenal vein sampling (AVS) through our interventional radiology team — a highly specialized procedure that helps pinpoint which adrenal gland is producing excess hormones.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Adrenal surgery can be performed using various techniques, including open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches. Our highly skilled surgeons specialize in minimally invasive procedures — both transabdominal and retroperitoneal — using laparoscopic and robotic methods. These advanced techniques help reduce complications, minimize pain, speed up recovery, and improve cosmetic outcomes.
We are dedicated to providing exceptional care while advancing the field of adrenal disorders through continuous research and education. Our mission is to offer:
- Comprehensive Patient Care: We ensure every patient receives the most effective treatment and support for adrenal disorders, tailored to their unique needs.
- Advancing Research: We are at the forefront of adrenal health research, contributing to our understanding of adrenal disorders and exploring better diagnostic methods, innovative treatments and more effective management strategies for adrenal disorders.
- Educating the Next Generation: As a teaching institution, we are committed to training the next generation of physicians. Through hands-on experience, mentorship, and collaborative learning, we prepare our medical students, residents, and fellows to become leaders in the field of adrenal health.
