Minimally invasive cortical sparing adrenal surgery in the treatment of pheochromocytomas in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2

#3231

Introduction: Pheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumor originating from chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. Over 30% of pheochromocytomas are associated with mutations in germ line cells including rearranged in transfection mutations observed in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 syndromes. MEN2 associated pheochromocytoma is more likely to be bilateral and benign.

Aim(s): This systematic review aimed to review the role of minimally invasive adrenal sparing surgery in the treatment of MEN2 associated pheochromocytoma.

Materials and methods: Electronic databases were searched with the appropriate search terms for the time period up to and including November 2020. Full publications, including clinical trials randomized or not, retrospective studies, case series, case reports that provided relevant data met inclusion criteria.
