ABSTRACT
We present two cases of sudden unanticipated cardiovascular complications in patients with noncatecholamine-secreting adrenocortical adenomas during laparoscopic adrenalectomy. In the first case, the patient developed paroxysmal tachycardia and hypertension followed by ventricular fibrillation shortly after clipping of the adrenal vein. In the second case, the patient suffered hypertension and bigeminy during manipulation of the adrenal gland just around the adrenal vein. Awareness of such complications during either conventional or laparoscopic adrenalectomy is important even if the operation is performed in a patient with an apparently noncatecholamine-secreting adrenocortical adenoma.
