In a video report published in VideoEndocrinology, Dr. Jadeja (published as Priya Iyer) joined a Cleveland Clinic surgical team evaluating a new articulating robotic vessel sealer during a bilateral posterior adrenalectomy — a technique used to remove both adrenal glands through the back rather than the abdomen. The case involved a 61-year-old man with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome whose overactive adrenal glands required complete removal after other treatments failed.
The posterior approach let the surgical team address both sides without repositioning the patient mid-surgery, and the new articulating sealer gave the robotic instruments added flexibility to work safely within the retroperitoneal space's tight confines. The case built on Dr. Jadeja's earlier work refining minimally invasive techniques for complex adrenal disease.
