“…Histological tumor type, grade, location and extension of resection have been well-documented prognostic factors for long-term survival. Given the complex nature of RPS surgery, much emphasis has recently been placed on the appropriate referral and management of these patients at specialized centers in order to ensure high quality of surgical care (9).…”

Robotic resection of a giant retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma: A case report

et al. 2019

The management of abdominal leiomyosarcoma is challenging. Surgical excision is considered the only effective treatment; however, this is associated with considerable morbidity. Robotic surgery has emerged during the past decades and has enhanced the general surgery armamentarium, allowing surgeons to carry out demanding operations in a safe manner. The surgical resection of retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma (RPLM) can be associated with significant morbidity, which is primarily due to the origin or the close proximity of the tumor with important vascular structures, including the inferior vena cava and tributaries, the duodenum and the ureter. The present case describes the first case of robotic resection of RPLM in a high-volume robotic center. In the present case, a large RPLM was safely removed with respect to oncological principles with the use of the Da Vinci platform.
