Complete surgical removal of retroperitoneal tumors involving major blood vessels is feasible. Resection of the aorta or vena cava with lymph node dissection can be safely performed with a low complication rate.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Abdominal Surgery

Background:

  • Retroperitoneal malignant tumors, both primary and metastatic, frequently involve adjacent major blood vessels like the aorta and vena cava.
  • This involvement complicates complete tumor excision, often necessitating radical surgical approaches.

Observation:

  • The study presents three cases of patients with retroperitoneal tumors involving major vasculature.
  • Surgical procedures included en bloc resection of involved blood vessels alongside retroperitoneal lymph node dissection.

Findings:

  • Two patients underwent aortic resection with Dacron tube graft reconstruction.
  • One patient had extensive vena cava excision from the renal veins to the iliac veins with distal ligation.
  • All procedures were associated with a low complication rate, demonstrating technical feasibility.

Implications:

  • Excision of major blood vessels is a viable strategy to achieve complete lymphadenectomy for advanced retroperitoneal malignancies.
  • This approach expands the possibilities for radical surgical treatment in complex cases.
  • Further research can explore long-term outcomes and refine surgical techniques for these challenging resections.
