Pheochromocytoma: Adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma is performed most commonly for problems with blood pressure and heart rate. Although blood pressure is affected by the pheochromocytoma, there are other causes for increased blood pressure. However, blood pressure is generally much easier to manage after the pheochromocytoma is removed. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is almost always possible.
