The Duration of Preoperative Administration of Single α-Receptor Blocker Phenoxybenzamine before Adrenalectomy for Pheochromocytoma: 18 Years of Clinical Experience from Nationwide High-Volume Center.

Conclusion: The data from the current study indicated that the preoperative management of pheochromocytoma with single α-receptor blocker PXB for more than 2 weeks, after the final dose adjustment, could not further reduce the risk of intraoperative hemodynamic instability or postoperative complications. Thus, our study supports that 14 days would be enough for the duration of preoperative management of pheochromocytoma with single α-receptor blocker PXB in final dose.
