[Analysis of the results in pheochromoblastoma treatment]

Results of operative treatment of 60 patients with pheochromoblastoma were analyzed. Surgical method of treatment is the most effective one. Lumbotomic extraperitoneal access is the method of choice. Oncological radicalism demands not only complete excision of primary tumor in sole capsule together with suprarenal gland, but also the revision of paranephral, paracaval and paraaortal cellule. Radical intervention with subsequent durable remission was performed in 38 (63.3%) of patients, also in 3 (5%) the remission was achieved after reintervention conduction. Two (3.3%) patients are living with persisting disease, which can be controlled easier using medicines, than before the operation. In 8 (13.3%) patients with the spread metastases revealed and they were directed to symptomatic therapy by their residence. The recurrence occurrence after primary operation performance is unfavorable prognostic feature: 55.8% of such patients were considered incurable. Operative treatment performed had guaranteed the disease remission achievement in 71.9% of patients.
