Retroperitoneal malignant tumours, both primary and metastatic, may involve surrounding structures such as the aorta and vena cava, making complete tumour excision difficult. En bloc resection of major blood vessels should be considered in such cases. The authors describe three patients who underwent excision of major blood vessels with retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. Two patients had aortic resection with placement of a Dacron tube graft, and one had excision of the vena cava from above the renal vessels to the level of the common iliac veins with distal venous ligation. The low complication rate confirms the feasibility of excising major blood vessels to accomplish complete retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy.
Presents data on the clinical course and surgical treatment of 26 patients with retroperitoneal tumors and hemangiomas of the pelvis. The diagnosis was confirmed by x-ray, echographic, computer tomographic, and angiographic data on pelvic vessels. To prevent bleedings, embolization of the internal iliac arteries and their branches as far as the 3-4th order was carried out in 9 patients with angiodysplasias and 4 with retroperitoneal pelvic tumors. Endovascular occlusion of the main vessels not only permitted surgery with the minimal blood loss, but was conducive to better visualization of the tissues and made the operation less traumatic.
