Abstract:
The clinical awareness of the various presentations of pheochromocytoma, along with newer monitoring and anesthetic techniques, has enabled early diagnosis and less fluctuation of blood pressure during operation. The use of meticulous surgical technique through the various incisions outlined in this article has made the excision of pheochromocytoma an expeditious operation and the accompanying hypertension surgically curable. Thus, pheochromocytoma is less likely to be a fatal lesion.
