Introduction: Retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery for benign retroperitoneal tumors is often challenging because of variations in the tumor location and size. In this study, we present a retroperitoneal laparoscopic resection technique used at our institution to treat benign retroperitoneal tumors.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective case series included nine consecutive patients who underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic tumor resection between 2011 and 2023. We analyzed patients' clinical characteristics and perioperative outcomes.
Results: There were four women and five men with a median age of 44 (range, 15-70) years and a median body mass index of 22.0 (range, 17.8-29.2) kg/m. Among the nine tumors resected, 7 were located in the right suprahilar region, 1 in the left suprahilar region, and 1 in the left infrahilar region. The median maximal tumor diameter was 3.0 cm (range, 1.8-12). The median operative time and estimated blood loss were 144 minutes (range, 76-358) and 7 mL (range, 1-479), respectively. No major perioperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥3) or conversion to open surgery were recorded. Pathological examination confirmed negative surgical margins in all cases.
Conclusions: Retroperitoneal laparoscopic resection was found to be a feasible and safe approach for treating benign retroperitoneal tumors.

Pancreatic surgery is considered one of the most challenging interventions by many surgeons, mainly due to retroperitoneal location and proximity to key and delicate vascular structures. These factors make pancreatic resection a demanding procedure, with successful rates far from optimal and frequent postoperative complications. Surgical planning is essential to improve patient outcomes, and in this regard, many technological advances made in the last few years have proven to be extremely useful in medical fields.

This case report describes a 66-year-old male diagnosed with a giant retroperitoneal lymphangioma, presenting with an abdominal mass confirmed via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Laparoscopic surgery was successfully performed to excise the mass, with histopathological examination confirming the diagnosis. The patient's postoperative recovery was uneventful, with no signs of recurrence or metastasis observed at the three-month follow-up.

: 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.

Background: Low-grade mucinous neoplasms typically originate from the appendix and are characterized by a lining of low-grade mucus-secreting columnar epithelial cells and smooth muscle. However, atypical origins can occur, as demonstrated in this case report.
Case Presentation: We present a case involving a 33-year-old male who, upon physical examination, was found to have an abdominal mass.

Rationale: Ovarian tumor torsion is a critical gynecological emergency, predominantly affecting women of reproductive age, with benign teratomas being the most common culprits. In contrast, malignant ovarian tumors, such as mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, infrequently present with torsion due to their invasive and angiogenic characteristics. The occurrence of torsion in malignant tumors complicates diagnosis and management, particularly when associated with complications like congestion, infarction, and internal bleeding.
