Successful surgical removal of a retroperitoneal paraganglioma in the celiac artery trifurcation in a dog

In this case, the main branches of the CA, except for the common hepatic artery, were transected to remove the mass; however, the patient was discharged without serious complications. This is attributable to recovery of blood flow from collateral routes. Considering this blood flow recovery and that intraoperative gastric ischemia was temporary, complete ligation of the CA root may be acceptable in some cases. Additionally, the prognosis for PGL was favorable when complete resection was achieved.
