Successful Management of Uncontrolled Hypertension with Peritumoral Infiltration of Lidocaine During Laparoscopic Resection of Pheochromocytoma: A New Approach

Abstract

The intraoperative care of pheochromocytomas can be difficult and lead to serious complications. We present a case of a 46 year-old female undergoing laparoscopic resection of pheochromocytoma, who was scheduled for surgery with phenoxybenzamine and amlodipin. Under general anesthesia cardiovascular stability was achieved by peritumoral infiltration of lidocaine during resection.
