Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic resection of primary retroperitoneal tumors. Method Clinical data of 52 patients diagnosed as primary retroperitoneal tumor who underwent laparoscopic resection in Peking University Third Hospital from January 2006 to December 2015 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Results Fifty two patients were included in the review. In 21 patients (40.3%), tumors were adjacent to major vessels (such as inferior vena cava, superior mesenteric vein, and the splenic vessel), tumors of 31 patients (59.7%) were away from major vessles. Two operations (3.8%) were converted to hand-assistant and 2 operations (3.8%) were converted to laparotomy due to tight adherence to major vessels. The mean value of operative time was 171.4-minute (60-520 minutes) and the mean value of length of incision was 2.8 cm (1-15 cm), the mean value of estimated blood loss was 86.4 mL (10-1 150 mL), 2 patients needed blood transfusion. The mean value of time of returning to diets was 1.5-day (1-5 days) and the mean value of length of postoperative hospital stay was 4.9-day (1-16 days). There was no major postoperative complications or death. Follow up was available for 47 patients at a median time of 62.0-month (4-120 months). Three patients with retroperitoneal liposarcomas experienced recurrence at 31, 34, and 48 months after operation, 1 patient with mucinous peripheral neurilemmoma experience recurrence at 69 months after operation, all of which underwent further resection, with others experiencing no recurrence or metastasis. Three patients died in reason of other diseases. Conclusions Laparoscopic surgery can be performed safely in the treatment of primary retroperitoneal tumors, even when a tumor adjacent to major vascular structures.
