Partial adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma in the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 population: Time to reconsider?
These data show that there is a considerable risk of ipsilateral recurrent disease in the short term after partial adrenalectomy for multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2-related pheochromocytoma with a 50% chance of adrenal insufficiency in cases of bilateral surgery. Therefore, we doubt whether partial adrenalectomy should be preferred for multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2-associated pheochromocytoma. We propose total adrenalectomy as the standard technique and partial adrenalectomy only for selected cases.
