Abstract:
Between 1978 and 1994, 27 patients with a retroperitoneal liposarcoma underwent a total of 64 operations at our institution with a resectability rate of 96% of the primary and 100% of recurrent tumors. Operative morbidity (7.8%) and mortality (3.1%) were low, although multivisceral reactions were necessary in the majority of cases (73% of all primary tumors). The single most important prognostic factor was a potentially curative resection at first operation (5-year survival: RO: 75%, R1/R2: 34%), but also at first operation for tumor recurrence.
