Who is this surgery for?
- Presence of a symptomatic retroperitoneal mass causing pain, obstruction, or compression of organs.
- Suspected or confirmed malignant tumors (e.g., sarcomas, lymphomas) in the retroperitoneum.
- Large or growing benign tumors (e.g., lipomas, schwannomas) that risk damaging adjacent structures.
- Tumors causing ureteral obstruction, leading to kidney dysfunction.
- Diagnostic uncertainty where biopsy is inconclusive or not feasible, necessitating excision for definitive diagnosis.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive pre-operative evaluation including detailed imaging (CT/MRI scan) to map the tumor's size and relationship to vital structures.
- Blood tests, cardiac and pulmonary assessments to ensure fitness for major surgery.
- Consultation with the surgical team to discuss the procedure, risks, benefits, and surgical approach (open vs. minimally invasive).
- Pre-operative bowel preparation may be required, depending on tumor location near the intestines.
- Fasting for 8-12 hours before surgery and adjustment of current medications (e.g., blood thinners) as advised by the doctor.
Risks & possible complications
- General surgical risks: Bleeding, infection, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
- Injury to adjacent organs (intestines, kidneys, ureters, pancreas, major blood vessels, or nerves).
- Formation of fistulas (abnormal connections), particularly if the bowel is involved.
- Post-operative ileus (temporary paralysis of the intestines) or bowel obstruction.
- Recurrence of the tumor, especially if complete excision is not achieved.
- Long-term complications like chronic pain or lymphatic fluid collection (lymphocele).
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial hospital stay for monitoring pain, vital signs, and organ function; a drain may be placed at the surgical site.
- Gradual advancement from liquids to solid diet as bowel function returns.
- Pain management with prescribed medications and encouragement for early, gentle mobilization to prevent blood clots.
- Detailed instructions on wound care, signs of infection to watch for, and activity restrictions (avoid heavy lifting for 6-8 weeks).
- Follow-up appointments for wound check, review of pathology reports, and planning any adjuvant therapy (like chemotherapy or radiation) if needed.
