Abstract
The high prevalence of obesity is associated with diverse health problems, including endocrine disorders. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has become the preferred approach for removal of the adrenal gland, but several authors still debate the role of laparoscopic adrenalectomy in pheochromocytoma. We describe a case of a morbidly obese man (weight, 142 kg; body mass index, 40.2 kg/m(2)) who underwent elective laparoscopic adrenalectomy for a large right pheochromocytoma without incidences.Entities:
