      <abstract>
        <p>Cortical sparing adrenalectomy allows for resection of adrenal tumor(s) while preserving unaffected adrenal tissue to prevent adrenal insufficiency. This is especially important in patients affected with bilateral adrenal tumors, typically pheochromocytomas. Posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (PRA) allows for a minimally invasive approach to adrenal gland resection compared to the more traditional laparoscopic transabdominal adrenalectomy and open approaches. The PRA technique is increasingly used by high-volume endocrine surgeons throughout the world. This approach is ideal to address patients with bilateral disease and was utilized in this case of a patient presenting with bilateral pheochromocytomas in the setting of multiple endocrine neoplasia 2A syndrome.</p>
