Laparoscopic surgery for malignant solid tumors is still in the stage of clinical exploration. Neuroblastoma is a common solid tumor in children. The present study discussed significance and feasibility of complete resection of stage III neuroblastoma by laparoscopic surgery and its safety and effectiveness was compared with traditional surgery. For children suffering from neuroblastoma with large tumor volume and vascular invasion, preoperative chemotherapy can be given and minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery can be one option to be considered when the tumor volume is <6 cm. During the operation, the tumor tissue can be removed by segmental resection and the removal of as much tumor tissue as possible is an important factor in improving the prognosis. Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery is associated with minimal surgical trauma and quick recovery of patients, and children can receive postoperative chemotherapy as early as possible, which is conducive to good recovery. Basically, the prerequisite and requirements for performing this operation are professional laparoscopic skills and an experienced team.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
