چکیده
INTRODUCTION We analyzed the changes in serum catecholamine concentrations, i.e. adrenaline and noradrenaline, in response to surgical stress in patients with pheochromocytoma who undergone videolaparoscopic adrenalectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 1998 and March 2002, 11 patients underwent 12 videolaparoscopic adrenalectomies. In one case, the adrenalectomy was bilateral. Serum catecholamines were measured at 6 surgical times: T0: control before induction; T1: following the induction, laryngoscopy and intubation sequence; T2: after installing the pneumoperitoneum; T3: during manipulation-exeresis of the pheochromocytoma; T4: following ablation of the pheochromocytoma; T5: in the recovery room following intervention when the patient was extubated and was hemodynamically stable. RESULTS Mean concentrations of serum noradrenaline were significantly different when the T0 and T2 surgical times were compared (T0: 3161 pg/mL; T2: 40440 pg/mL; p < 0.01), T0 and T3 (T0: 3161 pg/mL; T3: 46021 pg/mL; p < 0.001), T1 and T3 (T1: 5531 pg/mL; T3: 46021 pg/mL; p < 0.01), T2 and T4 (T2: 40440 pg/mL; T4: 10773 pg/mL; p < 0.01) and T3 and T5 (T3: 46021 pg/mL; T5: 2549 pg/mL; p < 0.001). Mean concentrations of serum adrenaline were significantly different when the T0 and T3 surgical times were compared (T0: 738 pg/mL; T3: 27561 pg/mL; p < 0.01). CONCLUSION The pneumoperitoneum significantly increases serum noradrenaline concentrations, manipulation of the adrenal gland significantly increases the serum concentrations of noradrenaline and adrenaline, and the pheochromocytoma ablation significantly decreases serum noradrenaline concentrations.

Improvement of insulin sensitivity after adrenalectomy in patients with pheochromocytoma.
OBJECTIVE Decreased insulin secretion is considered to be the main cause for pheochromocytoma-associated diabetes mellitus. Data from animal and evidence from clinical studies suggest that catecholamines can induce insulin resistance. However, there is no study investigating the effect of catecholamine excess on insulin resistance in patients with pheochromocytopma by the euglycemic hyperinsuli...
متن کاملHypertensive crisis during adrenalectomy in a patient with pheochromocytoma and a HOCM with SAM.
Adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma (PCC) is generally performed after preparation with αand β-sympathicolytic agents to blunt the effects of the elevated catecholamine output. In patients also known to have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, this preoperative workup needs more attention than in other patients with PCC. This is illustrated by the following case, in which the perioperative pass through...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Adrenalectomy for Pheochromocytoma in a Child
Pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine-secreting tumor of the adrenal medulla. It has wide and subtle range of clinical manifestations including sustained hypertension in about 1% of pediatric patients. Although laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the gold standard treatment method in adult patients, few reports have described this technique in children. We report a child with unilateral pheochromocytom...

OBJECTIVE To define whether previous control of the adrenal vein is a crucial procedure in laparoscopic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma. METHODS From January 2000 to December 2010, 114 patients with pheochromocytoma who underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy through transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approach were included. The patients were divided into 2 groups randomly (group 1: dissectio...

Pheochromocytomas (rare catecholamine-producing neuroendocrine tumors) have many different manifestations, and complications can occasionally include myocardial infarction and cardiomyopathy. In a majority of cases, cardiomyopathy reverses following medical or surgical treatment of the pheochromocytoma. We report a case of a 28-year-old male patient with preoperative diagnosis of pheochromocyto...
