ROMAN-CONZALEZ, Alejandro; PADILLA-ZAMBRANO, Huber  and  VASQUEZ JIMENEZ, Luis Felipe. Perioperative management of pheocromocytoma/paraganglioma: a comprehensive review. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2021, vol.49, n.3, e301.  Epub June 12, 2021. ISSN 0120-3347.  https://doi.org/10.5554/22562087.e958.

Pheochromocytomas are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms that require adequate preoperative evaluation in order to prevent and lessen the serious complications of catecholamine hypersecretion. Preoperative management contributes to reducing morbidity and mortality rates in patients who have not been diagnosed with this condition and undergo any surgery. However, current mortality seems to be lower, a fact attributed to preoperative management with alpha blockers.

Keywords : Pheochromocytoma; preoperative care; intraoperative care; drug therapy; postoperative care.
