Laparoscopic and open surgery for pheochromocytoma

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is a promising alternative to open surgery although concerns exist in regard to laparoscopic treatment of pheocromocytoma. This report compares the outcome of laparoscopic and conventional (open) resection for pheocromocytoma particular in regard to intraoperative hemodynamic stability and postoperative patient comfort. METHODS Seven patients laparoscopic...

One hundred two patients with pheochromocytoma treated at a single institution since the introduction of laparoscopic adrenalectomy.

HYPOTHESIS Pheochromocytoma can be safely treated laparoscopically; "subclinical" pheochromocytoma is increasingly common. DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Patients undergoing adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma at our institution in 1994 to 2009. INTERVENTIONS Laparoscopic, hand-assisted, and open adrenalectomy.

Anesthetic management of a pregnant woman undergoing laparoscopic surgery for pheochromocytoma -A case report-

Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine producing tumor. Anesthetic management for the resection of pheochromocytoma is hard and challenging issue to anesthesiologist, because of its potentially lethal cardiovascular complications. It becomes more complicated when the patient is pregnant. Clinicians must keep the safety of both mother and fetus in mind. The timing of surgery for pheochromocyto...

Laparoscopic Unilateral Total and Contralateral Subtotal Adrenalectomy for Bilateral Adrenocorticotropic Hormone-Secreting Pheochromocytoma: Report of a Rare Case

Background: Bilateral adrenal tumors are not common in clinical practice, but are an important source of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion. Standard operative management for bilateral pheochromocytomas might dictate the removal of the involved adrenal gland and the removal of the contralateral adrenal gland. We present a case of bilateral ACTH-secreting pheochromocytoma treat...
