[Surgery of pheochromocytoma. An approach apropos of 17 cases].
From a series of 17 recently operated cases, the authors report their experience, both in terms of diagnosis and preoperative assessment, and also in terms of operative technique. A confirmed biological diagnosis, accurate topographical diagnosis using CT scan or MIBG scintigraphy scanning, anterior route of approach and good medico-surgical cooperation enable the operative mortality and the morbidity to be reduced to a maximum.
