Successful removal of large adrenal pheochromocytoma on the right side with liver mobilization.
We report a case of a large adrenal pheochromocytoma on the right side successfully removed with liver mobilization. Bilateral anterior subcostal incision with a ventral midline incision extending from the xiphoid and subsequent use of self-retraction system provided satisfactory exposure of liver and diaphragm. This incision is useful for easy mobilization of the liver and manipulation of the inferior caval vein in patients with large adrenal tumour on the right side.
