Abstract:
Eleven cases of extraadrenal pheochromocytoma were diagnosed and treated. When using general image and endoscopic examination, most tumors of this kind were accurately located. "Stimulant symptoms of tumors" were also helpful in locating the tumors. "Symptoms of tumor's clear away" were helpful in determining whether the tumor has been radically resected or not. The difficulty in operation is related to the occurrence of the tumor. If the tumor occurs in the postperitoneal region, there is a risk for the operation. Adequate preparation before operation is the key to a successful operation. Enucleation is not advisable for this tumor.

Adrenergic Agonists: Therapeutic Uses
Emergency and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) applications: Pressor agents increase blood pressure, heart rate, and contractility in shock and organ failure situations. Dopamine can induce vasodilation and stimulate adrenoceptors. Endogenous catecholamines are effective in treating cardiogenic shock. α2-agonists like clonidine can reverse anesthesia-induced hypertension.
