“…However, unexpected tumor adhesion or invasion can sometimes be appreciated during the laparoscopic approach, and these findings often necessitate conversion to an open approach. Recent studies suggest that laparoscopic resection is a safe and feasible operative approach for hemangioma of the adrenal gland or for paraganglioma [9,10]. Thus, the laparoscopic approach might represent a new standard operative procedure for the surgical management of retroperitoneal tumor.…”

IntroductionCavernous hemangiomas are common benign tumors of the skin or liver but can also rarely originate from the retroperitoneal space, especially adjacent to the renal hilum. Qualitative characterization of these retroperitoneal tumors using available imaging modalities is relatively difficult.Case presentationA 40-year-old Japanese woman was incidentally noted to have a round homogenous tumor adjacent to the left renal hilum on computed tomography. The preoperative diagnosis was paraganglioma according to hormonal and clinical findings. The tumor was successfully resected via a laparoscopic approach, and histopathological examination of the tumor revealed cavernous hemangioma.ConclusionsCavernous hemangioma is a rare but relatively benign disease when considering the different types of retroperitoneal tumors. We were able to effectively treat the retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma via laparoscopy.

“…Two recent series have suggested that in benign tumors without adjacent organ or vessel involvement, this approach can be done safely and result in good perioperative outcomes [28,29]. Tumor size does not appear to significantly affect blood loss or operative time, although the majority of tumors are relatively small (<10 cm).…”

Complete and safe resection of challenging retroperitoneal tumors: anticipation of multi-organ and major vascular resection and use of adjunct procedures

et al. 2011

BackgroundRetroperitoneal tumors are often massive and can involve adjacent organs and/or vital structures, making them difficult to resect. Completeness of resection is within the surgeon's control and critical for long-term survival, particularly for malignant disease. Few studies directly address strategies for complete and safe resection of challenging retroperitoneal tumors.MethodsFifty-six patients representing 63 cases of primary or recurrent retroperitoneal tumor resection between 2004-2009 were identified and a retrospective chart review was performed. Rates of complete resection, use of adjunct procedures, and perioperative complications were recorded.ResultsIn 95% of cases, complete resection was achieved. Fifty-eight percent of these cases required en bloc multi-organ resection, and 8% required major vascular resection. Complete resection rates were higher for primary versus recurrent disease. Adjunct procedures (ureteral stents, femoral nerve monitoring, posterior laminotomy, etc.) were used in 54% of cases. Major postoperative complications occurred in 16% of cases, and one patient died (2% mortality).ConclusionsComplete resection of challenging retroperitoneal tumors is feasible and can be done safely with important pre- and intraoperative considerations in mind.

Laparoscopic Resection of Nonadrenal Retroperitoneal Tumors

Abstract: Laparoscopic resection of retroperitoneal tumors is feasible even when a tumor is large or adheres to adjacent vascular structures if there is no evidence of malignancy based on preoperative radiologic studies.
