Core Tip

Core Tip: Recurrent retroperitoneal paragangliomas are infrequent but pose substantial surgical challenges, particularly when located adjacent to critical vascular structures such as the abdominal aorta. Effective perioperative management of hemodynamic fluctuations, driven by catecholamine secretion, requires meticulous preoperative planning, including volume expansion, blood pressure monitoring, and vasoactive agent preparation. Surgical intervention demands prompt and coordinated anesthetic support to stabilize hemodynamics, ensuring successful tumor resection. Given the potential for late recurrence, long-term follow-up is essential for early detection and management of asymptomatic recurrences.
