Abstract:
Laparoscopic operation is considered to be the optimal for treatment of pheochromocytoma nowadays. Though by the large size of the tumor the laparoscopic approach can be quite troeblecome because not only difficulties with the central tumor vein identification and visualization, but severe intraoperative hemodynamic disorders.

Data of 5 operated patients with giant pheochromocytoma was processed and analyzed. Features of the preoperative examination and operative technique were described.
