title: Combined laparoscopic and transurethral partial cystectomy for juxta-ureteral pheochromocytoma of the bladder.
abstract: An 18-year-old boy with a 2.5 cm by 3 cm pheochromocytoma involving the posterior wall of the bladder just above the interureteric bar was successfully treated by partial cystectomy, using a combined transurethral and laparoscopic approach. Although laparoscopic excision of pheochromocytoma on the anterior wall of the bladder has previously been reported, this is the first case where a laparo-endoscopic approach was used for a difficult posterior wall juxta-ureteral tumour.
