Question about the surgery for pheochromocytoma, is it risky?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risk: Like any other surgery it is associated with risk. Determining the risk is not possible without knowing the location and size of the tumor. In general, would recommend surgery be done by surgeon and center with experience in such procedures. You should talk to the surgeon for further information.
