Temporary Vascular Debranching to Facilitate Retroperitoneal Tumour en bloc Resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Oncovascular teams are known to be a cornerstone in planning and facilitating en bloc resection of large retroperitoneal masses. Vascular surgeons can help with dissection close to major vessels by vascular reconstruction when necessary, and also in performing specific procedures that can facilitate safe and optimal tumour mass resection. Two cases are reported where temporary vascular debranching of major arteries allowed safe tumour harvesting.

Case reports

A 68 year old man with a necrotic retroperitoneal carcinoma underwent en bloc resection with temporary debranching of the coeliac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and right renal artery using a multibranched bypass from the axillary artery. The post-operative course included septic shock relat
