Summary: This study found that retroperitoneal salvage surgery based on RLU is effective in addressing intractable urinary tract problems, avoiding intra-abdominal adhesions and ensuring sufficient ureteral length for subsequent reconstructions. The minimally invasive procedure contributes to improving patient quality of life.

Summary: Compared with retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RLA), robot-assisted laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RARLA) can significantly reduce intraoperative blood loss and accelerate postoperative gastrointestinal recovery. However, RARLA has longer operation time, drainage tube placement time, post-operative hospital stay, and higher hospitalization expense.

Summary: This article demonstrates a surgical method for laparoscopic excision of retroperitoneal adnexal cysts and discusses advanced surgical techniques and anatomical considerations in patients with previous abdominopelvic surgery. Key techniques include the use of laparoscopic techniques, traction and counter-traction techniques, knowledge of retroperitoneal anatomy and avascular spaces, early ligation of the infundibulopelvic ligament, and complete ureterolysis. Knowledge of retroperitoneal anatomy is crucial in the surgical management of retroperitoneal adnexal masses.

Summary: We present two rare cases of retroperitoneal schwannoma that were successfully resected using a laparoscopic medial-retroperitoneal approach aided by virtual navigation. Preoperative simulation and intraoperative navigation with three-dimensional images allowed for precise tumor localization and safe surgery. The medial-retroperitoneal approach and three-dimensional image navigation are valuable techniques for enhancing surgical safety and understanding of complex anatomical structures.

Summary: The feasibility and safety of the supine anterior retroperitoneal access (SARA) technique with the da Vinci Single-Port (SP) robotic platform were assessed in patients undergoing surgery for renal cancer, urothelial cancer, or ureteral stenosis. The surgical procedure involves a 3-cm incision at the McBurney point and the development of the retroperitoneal space for robotic access. The outcomes of the surgery were favorable.

Summary: The study investigated the safety and effectiveness of the delayed occlusion of the proximal inferior vena cava (DOPI) technique in retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgeries for renal tumors with venous tumor thrombus. Results showed that the DOPI technique was safe and feasible, simplifying the procedures and reducing complications in these surgeries.

Summary: The comparative advantages of robotic posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy (RPRA) over laparoscopic posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy (LPRA) remain a topic of ongoing debate within the medical community. This systematic literature review and meta-analysis found that RPRA had a significantly shorter hospital stay compared to LPRA, while there were no statistically significant differences between the two techniques in terms of operative time, blood loss, conversion rates, and complications.

Summary: Robot-assisted laparoscopic retroperitoneal RAA repair is a flexible and safe approach with the advantage of direct access to the renal artery. In this report, a successful case of repairing a right-sided RAA via robot-assisted laparoscopic retroperitoneal approach in a 58-year-old man is presented, with no reported morbidity and improved postoperative recovery.

Summary: By reviewing medical records, the perioperative outcomes of L-RPLND, R-RPLND and O-RPLND were compared, and it was determined which one can be the mainstream option. The results showed that all three surgical techniques are comparable in terms of safety, oncological, andrological, and reproductive outcomes, and L-RPLND may be the most cost-effective option.

Summary: Retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy for nonfunctional unilateral adrenal tumors in the day surgery mode is safe and has the potential to shorten length of hospital stay and reduce hospitalization costs when strict selection criteria and perioperative management protocol are followed.

Summary: This study presents the experience and outcomes of consecutive laparoscopic renal biopsy in a series of Chinese patients over an 8-year period. The laparoscopic retroperitoneal route was used, and renal tissue was obtained in all cases. The technique was found to be a safe and minimally invasive alternative for patients who could not undergo percutaneous renal biopsy.

Summary: This study assessed the feasibility of using an internal traction technique (ITT) in retroperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (rRAPN) for renal ventral tumors. The results showed that ITT reduced warm ischemia time and estimated blood loss compared to the traditional technique, with no other significant differences observed.

Summary: This study compares the surgical outcomes of open and laparoscopic ureterolysis procedures in patients with ureteral obstruction caused by retroperitoneal fibrosis. The study found that the success and complication rates were similar between the two surgical methods, but laparoscopic approach had advantages in terms of shorter postoperative hospitalization and recovery time.
