Abstract:
Retroperitoneal pelvic tumours are rare and their surgical approach is challenging. Various surgical approaches have been proposed. We present here an original mini-invasive anterior retroperitoneal approach the pelvic retroperitoneum, which was successful in a 26-year-old woman who had a benign schwannoma of the left sacral plexus. This technique presents advantages over other techniques that were considered in this case, as the least invasive and safest procedure.
