Robotic retroperitoneal tumor resection: a video vignette.

ABSTRACT: The utility of robotic platform remains relatively unexplored in the context of retroperitoneal tumors. The location and complexity of neurovascular anatomy pose additional challenges for surgical planning. Herein, we present the case of a 56-year-old male with a 9 × 7-cm retroperitoneal tumor located within the right iliopsoas muscle, without intraforaminal extent. The surgery was performed using the da Vinci Xi Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc.). The patient was placed in the left lateral position.
