Abstract:
We describe the successful endoscopic removal of six extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas in three patients. One neoplasia was located retrocavally, two between the aorta and vena cava, two by the para-aortal, and one by the parailiacal. The tumors were removed by the posterior retroperitoneoscopic or by the anterior laparoscopic approach, respectively. The intraoperative and postoperative courses were uneventful.
