Abstract
Excision of phaeochromocytomas and paragangliomas involving the great vessels is high risk surgery optimally undertaken within a multidisciplinary setting in a tertiary referral centre. Comprehensive radiological and biochemical assessment, meticulous pre-operative preparation and close intra- and post-operative monitoring are essential. Radiological imaging may be unable to resolve the tumour extent and anatomy pre-operatively and direct visualisation of the tumour may be the only way to clarify the surgical strategy. Pre-operative knowledge of the genetic predisposition may influence surgical management.
