Patient education when having surgery to remove adrenal gland(s). Adrenal glands are two small organs. Each one sits above each kidney, they produce hormones that affect your body in many ways (such as stress hormones and hormones that help control blood pressure and water balance in the body). An adrenal gland is usually removed because of a growth (tumour) that could be cancer or not (benign).Replaces catalogue #265482 (English) Black & White
