Clinical Outcomes In Children With Adrenal Neuroblastoma Undergoing Open Versus Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy

Minimally invasive nephrectomy for Wilms tumors in children – data from SIOP 2001

“…This approach is especially relevant in pediatric urologic operations of the upper urinary tract [7,8]. MIS also plays a certain role in pediatric surgical oncology although the exact relevance in most entities has not yet been determined [9][10][11]. The use of MIS in patients suffering from WT has been reported in singular cases [12][13][14], however, a systematic analysis has not been undertaken so far and by now there are no evidence based data available.…”

Preoperative surgical simulation of laparoscopic adrenalectomy for neuroblastoma using a three-dimensional printed model based on preoperative CT images

“…They included the patients with downstaging from IDRF present to IDRF absent following treatment with preoperative chemotherapy [5]. The indication used by another group was that the pre-operative imaging showed no vascular encasement and that the tumor had the greatest dimension ≤ 5 cm at the time of the surgical intervention [6].…”
