Patient scheduled for an adrenalectomy with laparoscopic technique, due to a tumor of the left adrenal gland. The diagnosis of chronic arterial hypertension was difficult to control, so a test was requested to rule out pheochromocytoma, resulting in a tumor of the left adrenal gland. The teamwork of the specialties involved in the care of the patient, effective communication, pre-surgical preparation and perioperative management, resulted in minimal perioperative complications in the patient, remaining in the intensive care unit for one day and reducing the hospital stay.
