Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumour of the adrenal gland that produces excess stress hormones (adrenaline and noradrenaline), causing episodes of high blood pressure, racing heartbeat, headaches, and sweating. Because the tumour releases these powerful hormones, surgery cannot be performed immediately — patients must first undergo several weeks of medical preparation with alpha and beta blockers to stabilise blood pressure and heart function before the operation can be safely carried out. The standard surgical treatment is adrenalectomy, the removal of the affected adrenal gland, most commonly performed using a laparoscopic (keyhole) approach. Robotic-assisted and open surgical techniques are also available depending on tumour size, location, and complexity. Most patients with a single, benign pheochromocytoma are cured after complete removal, though lifelong follow-up with annual hormone testing is recommended.
The adrenal gland is removed through several small keyhole incisions using a camera and instruments, avoiding a large abdominal cut.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: Plasma free metanephrines / 24-hour urinary fractionated metanephrines, CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast, 2D Echocardiography, ECG, CBC, LFT, KFT, Fasting blood glucose and HbA1c, Electrolytes (sodium, potassium). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $4,000 – $6,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~5 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~15 days recommended
Total stay: approx 23 days
