Abstract

"Pheochromocytomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that frequently have genetic involvement and can present a particular risk in terms of the anesthetic-surgical procedure. Current worldwide medical recommendations state that laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the conventional treatment for pheochromocytoma, however, the ideal surgical strategy is still being developed as specialized surgeons gain experience with these rare tumors. The study's purpose was to thoroughly evaluate our film library and identify the best surgical steps that represent our standardized procedure. We developed a comprehensive set of surgical critical strategies for either a left or right adrenalectomy, providing helpful advice on patient positioning, port placement, the adrenal gland approach, as well as other surgical methods specifically designed for tumor mobilization and dissection. The current paper aims to synthesize our clinical experience in terms of preoperative preparation, patient positioning, intraoperative complications, causes of conversion, and specimen extraction. The main conclusions concern both the best surgical approach and the importance of surgical experience in the clinical management of these rare tumor types. "
