Surgery is the key treatment in retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS), as completeness of resection is the most important prognostic factor related to treatment. Compartmental surgery/frontline extended approach is based on soft-tissue sarcoma surgical principles, and involves resecting adjacent viscera to achieve a wide negative margin. This extended approach is associated with improved local control and survival. This surgery must be tailored to tumor histology, tumor localization, and patient performance status. We herein present a review of compartmental surgery principles, covering the oncological and technical basis, and describing the tailored approach to each tumor subtype and localization in the retroperitoneum.
