Modified Dual Docking Robotic Surgery for Hereditary Paraganglioma-Pheochromocytoma Syndrome

Hereditary paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma (PGL/PCC) syndrome is an uncommon genetic condition featured by an inherited predisposition to generate PGLs. Surgical resection of all tumors is the standard treatment for excess adrenaline production and tendency for metastasis. Nowadays, there are few case reports that have mentioned the surgical technique for hereditary PGL/PCC syndromes, especially robot-assisted surgery. Herein we present a rare case of hereditary PGL/PCC syndromes treated by partial cystectomy and right adrenalectomy at the same time with modified dual docking robotic surgical technique. Our dual docking robotic technique is a feasible option for patients with hereditary PGL/PCC syndromes of synchronous tumors in bladder and adrenal gland. It could not only prevent from second surgery but be safely performed without compromising disease control.
