Objectives To evaluate the safety and application of laparoseopie surgery for adrenal pheochro-mocytoma. Methods Clinical records of 25 cases of laparoseopie adrenalectomy of pheochromocytom. Results Laparoseopic adroualectomy were performed successfully all the cases with pheochromocytoma. No patient required conversion to open surgery. The largest dimension of the tumor was 1.5～10.8 (mean 4.8) em. The operative time was 45～130 (mean 70) rain. The volume of blood loss was 30 ~ 180(mean 65) ml with no blood transfusion. The postoperative hospital stay was 4～7 (mean 6.1) days. Pathological examination revealed adrenal pheochromocytoma in all cases. All eases were followed up for6～72 (mcan10) months. In all patients blood pressures were normal and no residual tumors were found by B-altrasonngraphy or CT scans after laparoseopic surgery. Conclusions Lap-arosacopie surgery for pheochromoeytoma is feasible and safe, without increasing the operation risks. Because of its less traumatic and more rapid recovery, laparoscopie adrenalectomy can be considered the preferred choice for pheo-chromcytoma.
