Robotic Management of Pheochromocytoma of the Vesicoureteric Junction

Abstract

Pheochromocytoma of the urinary bladder is rare, presenting usually with hypertension, hematuria and syncopal attacks. Such cases have usually been managed with open or laparoscopic partial cystectomy. We present a case of bladder pheochromocytoma that had unusual presenting symptoms, a paraneoplastic manifestation and was successfully managed with robotic technique.
