Key Findings on Hemodynamic Instability Prediction in Pheochromocytoma Resection

Robot-assisted retroperitoneal pheochromocytoma resection was associated with lower perioperative hemodynamic instability compared to laparoscopic surgery. A nomogram predicting instability risk was developed, including tumor size, abnormal blood glucose, preoperative systolic blood pressure, robot-assisted surgery, and catecholamines as significant factors. The nomogram had an area under the curve of 0.816, providing clinicians with a tool to personalize risk assessments and enhance patient safety and surgical outcomes.
