title: Head docking for single stage robotic cortical sparing adrenalectomy for bilateral pheochromocytoma.
abstract: The optimal operative approach in a patient with bilateral pheochromocytoma is controversial. Subtotal minimal invasive cortical sparing adrenalectomy is gaining interest in many centers. We describe a novel technique for single stage approach for cortical sparing adrenalectomy for bilateral pheochromocytoma using head docking in order to offer good exposure of bilateral upper peritoneum without requiring patient or robot repositioning.
