Overview

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for pheochromocytoma. Adrenalectomy, laparoscopic transabdominal and retroperitoneal approaches have been used successfully for non-metastatic abdominal pheochromocytomas.

Indications

Surgery

Adrenalectomy

Contraindications

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for pheochromocytoma, even if it is asymptomatic.
