Background and Purpose
Laparoscopic management of extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma requires meticulous surgical procedures because of the variable anatomic position and/or proximity to major blood vessels and the potential catecholamine surge during operation. We present our experiences with laparoscopic management of extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma and compare the intraoperative hemodynamics with those during laparoscopic resection of adrenal pheochromocytoma.
Patients and Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 3 patients who underwent laparoscopic management of extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma (retrocaval, n=1; interaortocaval, n=1; periadrenal, n=1) and 24 patients who underwent laparoscopic management of adrenal pheochromocytoma between June 2005 and June 2023. We also evaluated fluctuations in blood pressure (BP) reported during both surgeries.
Results
The tumors were successfully resected under laparoscopic guidance in both groups, and one patient had converted to open surgery. Intraoperative hypertension (BP>200 mm Hg) was observed in 1 extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma and 13 adrenal pheochromocytoma patients, whereas intraoperative hypotension (BP <80 mm Hg) was observed in 1 extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma and 12 adrenal pheochromocytoma patients.
Conclusion
Laparoscopy is the method of choice for extra-adrenal resection because it is feasible and reproducible with appropriate preoperative planning, similar to adrenal resection.
