Retroperitoneoscopy: A laparoscopic approach for adrenal and renal surgery
Urology, 1996Retroperitoneoscopy has gained acceptance for urologic surgery. We assessed the safety and efficacy of this procedure for renal and adrenal surgery.Since December 1994, 20 patients (18 to 75 years old) have undergone laparoscopic adrenalectomy and nephrectomy, including simple nephrectomy in 8, partial nephrectomy in 1, radical nephrectomy in 2 ...

Extirpation of mass-screened adrenal neuroblastomas by retroperitoneoscopy
Surgical Endoscopy, 2003A mass-screened neuroblastoma (MSN) shows low-grade malignancy. Although the tumor is small, open laparotomy requires a large incision.Extirpation by retroperitoneoscopy (ER) was performed in children with MSN to reduce the surgical stress.The indications for ER were (1) MSN originating from the adrenal gland and (2) a tumor size of less than 4 cm ...

Use of Foley's catheter to gain access for retroperitoneoscopy
ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2004With the increasing popularity of laparoscopic urologic surgery, many different methods have been used to dissect the extraperitoneal space and gain access to the kidney and ureter. We present our initial experience using a Foley catheter to gain retroperitoneal access. This technique was successfully used in 30 children.

Retroperitoneoscopy in the management of drained infected pancreatic necrosis
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2001Bacterial infection secondary to pancreatic necrosis occurs in 40% to 70% of patients with severe acute pancreatitis.1 When infected pancreatic necrosis is present, as demonstrated by CT and detection of bacteria on needle aspiration of the necrotic area,2 surgical drainage is indicated via either the transperitoneal3 or extraperitoneal translumbar ...

Retroperitoneoscopy for the diagnosis of infiltrating retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy and masses
British Journal of Surgery, 1997Retroperitoneoscopy (RPS) is a form of direct vision endoscopy, used to explore the retroperitoneal space, and was first described by Bartel in 1969.RPS was performed prospectively to diagnose infiltrating retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy or masses when needle aspiration biopsy under computed tomographic guidance (NABCT) failed to establish a definite ...

Prone retroperitoneoscopy in treating complex renal vascular malformations
Journal of Pediatric Urology, 2008Two children presented with malignant hypertension due to complex reno-vascular malformations. The 7-min video shows the use of prone retroperitoneoscopy in both. PATIENT 1: A 6-year-old girl presented with convulsions and malignant hypertension. Captopril DMSA was suggestive of right renal artery stenosis.

Retroperitoneoscopy versus laparoscopy in piglets: Ventilatory and thermic repercussions
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1999Endoscopic surgery of the retroperitoneal space in children is developing. During preliminary clinical experience, the authors were surprised by the differences observed in comparison with laparoscopic pneumpoeritoneum (PNOP); retropneumpoeritoneum (RPNOP) seemed to have less ventilatory repercussions.The authors therefore undertook a study on animal ...

Fatal carbon dioxide embolism as an unreported complication of retroperitoneoscopy
Surgical Endoscopy, 1999Retroperitoneoscopy has gained popularity because it offers a safe alternative to the more debilitating open approach and avoids postoperative ileus. However, this type of procedure carries certain disadvantages in terms of intraperitoneal effusions and hemodynamic changes. Major complications are exceptional.

Balloon dissection in extended retroperitoneoscopy.
Surgical laparoscopy & endoscopy, 1995The anatomy of the retroperitoneum, including the high retroperitoneum, was studied as it appears with balloon dissecting techniques. We used fresh cadavers in this study. A relatively unknown fascia that is located between the lateral aspect of the perirenal fascia and the posterior parietal peritoneum, called the paraconal fascia, was a constant ...

[Retroperitoneoscopy: minimally invasive renal surgery].
Cirugia pediatrica : organo oficial de la Sociedad Espanola de Cirugia Pediatrica, 2004Retroperitoneal laparoscopy is well known as a surgical technique in adult patients. Its use in pediatric surgery is still-recent but, because of the good results, retroperitoncoscopy indications are getting more acceptance and widening indications. The aim of this work is to analyze our initial experience in retroperitoneal laparoscopy procedures in ...
