Abstract
Post-gonadectomy adrenal hyperplasia and/or neoplasia with overproduction of sex hormones have been recognized in a number of laboratory species. This chapter explores the presenting signs, diagnostic procedures, relevant anatomy and surgical landmarks. It goes on to consider adrenalectomy and prognosis. Operative Technique: Adrenalectomy.

Anatomy of the normal rabbit adrenal glands. (a) Position of the adrenal glands in the abdominal cavity, and anatomical relationship with other organs. The silhouette of the right adrenal gland is a projection, since it is dorsal to the cranial vena cava. L = liver; LK = left kidney; RK = right kidney; Sp = spleen; St = stomach. (b) Kidneys and adrenal glands, ventral view. The right adrenal gland is located dorsal to the caudal vena cava (arrow). A = aorta; CVC = caudal vena cava; LA = left adrenal gland; LK = left kidney; RK = right kidney; 1 = right renal artery; 2 = right renal vein; 3 = left renal artery; 4 = left renal vein. (c) Blood supply of the adrenal glands after removal of the caudal vena cava, ventral view. LA = left adrenal gland; RA = right adrenal gland; 1 = right renal artery; 3 = left renal artery; 5 = right cranial adrenal artery; 6 = right caudal adrenal artery; 7 = left cranial adrenal artery; 8 = left caudal adrenal artery.
