gated with laparoscopic clips. Specimen was removed in an endocatch bag. Results: 2 female and 1 ... more gated with laparoscopic clips. Specimen was removed in an endocatch bag. Results: 2 female and 1 male patient underwent robotic adrenal sparing excision of pheochromocytoma. Average operative time was 67 min with blood loss of less than 50 cc. Resumption of oral feeds was done after 6 hours in all cases. Mild intraoperative blood pressure fluctuations were noted in one case. There were no perioperative complications. Average hospital stay was 2 days. Average analgesic consumption was 75 mg of Diclofenac sodium. Histopathology confirmed pheochromocytoma in all cases with free surgical resection margins. Average follow up is 5.5 months with no evidence of recurrence or extra-adrenal tumor on 3 month MIBG scan. The repeat functional evaluation was also normal. Conclusion: Robotic assisted excision of adrenal pheochromocytoma is feasible, safe and efficacious in our early experience. Sparing of the normal adjacent adrenal parenchyma is possible with little detrimental effect on the oncological efficacy of the surgery. Long term studies are needed to further confirm this issue.
