Robotic Nerve Sheath Tumor Resection With Intraoperative Neuromonitoring: Case Series and Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Retroperitoneal nerve sheath tumors present a surgical challenge. Despite potential advantages, robotic surgery for these tumors has been limited. Identifying and sparing functional nerve fascicles during resection can be difficult, increasing the risk of neurological morbidity.

Objective

To review the literature regarding robotic resection of retroperitoneal nerve sheath tumors and retrospectively analyze our experience with robotic resection of these tumors using a manual electromyographic probe to identify and preserve functional nerve fascicles.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the clinical courses of 3 patients with retroperitoneal tumors treated at the National Institutes of Health by a multidisciplinary team using the da Vinci Xi system. Parent mo
