Unlabelled: Compression of the celiac artery (CA) associated with median arcuate ligament compression syndrome can result in aneurysms at the pancreaticoduodenal arcade. If the aneurysm ruptures, treatment with interventional radiology (IVR) is recommended. Subsequently, the median arcuate ligament (MAL) should be incised to prevent the recurrence of the aneurysm. Retroperitoneal endoscopic MAL incision reduces the risk of adhesive bowel obstruction. However, there is few surgical landmark for retroperitoneal MAL incision. We used IVR to detect CA for MAL incision.

Case Presentation: A 44-year-old man presented to our hospital with complaints of abdominal pain and clouding of consciousness. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen showed contrast leakage from pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm, and the CA was compressed by MAL, leading to the diagnosis of pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm rupture associated with median arcuate ligament compression syndrome. IVR was performed to block the blood flow to the aneurysm. After 2 months from life-saving IVR, we performed retroperitoneal endoscopic MAL incision with IVR. The patient was discharged 8 days after surgery. Echocardiography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography 2 months after discharge confirmed that the compression and flow of the CA had improved.

Clinical Discussion: In retroperitoneal endoscopic MAL incision, there has been few landmark to identify MAL and CA. Retroperitoneal procedure with IVR can identify MAL easily. This is a useful technique, and it is important to accumulate more cases to standardize the technique.

Conclusion: Retroperitoneal endoscopic MAL incision with IVR has not been reported, this procedure can make it easier to detect MAL.

Retroperitoneal lymphangioma is exceptionally rare. We present a case of a 41-year-old asymptomatic patient with a large abdominal cystic mass detected on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan, initially suspected to be pseudomyxoma peritonei. Laparoscopic exploration revealed a 30 x 30 cm multilocular cystic tumour originating from the retroperitoneum.

: Retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RLA) is one of two laparoscopic procedures used to treat benign and malignant adrenal diseases. Obesity in patients undergoing minimally invasive adrenal surgery is a frequently discussed topic. Our meta-analysis aimed to provide updated evidence by comparing intraoperative and perioperative outcomes on non-obese (NOb) and obese (Ob) patients who underwent RLA due to benign or malignant disease.

The patient was a male in his 60s who underwent a retroperitoneoscopic right nephrectomy for a diagnosis of right renal cell carcinoma (cT3aN0M0). During surgery, the patient was positioned in the left lateral recumbent, jackknife position. A blood test of the day after surgery showed an abnormally high CK level of 23,038 U/L.

Background: Prone lateral spinal surgery for simultaneous lateral and posterior approaches has recently been proposed to facilitate surgical room efficiency. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of minimally invasive prone lateral spinal surgery using a rotatable radiolucent Jackson table.

Methods: From July 2021 to June 2023, a consecutive series of patients who received minimally invasive prone lateral spinal surgery for various etiologies by the same surgical team were reviewed.

BACKGROUND Surgery involving the right retroperitoneum can result in lymphatic (chylous) leakage from the cisterna chyli located anterior to the L1 and L2 vertebra or from lymph node dissection. This report describes a 46-year-old woman with retroperitoneal lymphatic (chylous) leak following right adrenalectomy for a nonfunctional adrenal adenoma. CASE REPORT A 46-year-old woman presented with a medical history of hypertension.
