Laparoscopic Retroperitoneal Dissection
Laparoscopic retroperitoneal dissection (LRD) involves accessing and dissecting structures in the retroperitoneal space (the area behind the abdominal cavity) using a laparoscope. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure.
Why Is Laparoscopic Retroperitoneal Dissection Used?
Laparoscopic retroperitoneal dissection (LRD) is used for various reasons, including:
- Cancer Treatment: LRD may help in the removal of cancerous tumors or lymph nodes in the retroperitoneal space, particularly in cases of prostate cancer, kidney cancer, testicular cancer, or soft tissue sarcomas.
- Non-Cancerous Conditions: LRD may be used to treat non-cancerous conditions such as retroperitoneal fibrosis or cysts.
- Diagnosis: This minimally invasive surgery may be used to obtain a tissue sample (biopsy) for diagnosis, such as in cases where there is suspicion of cancer.
- Repair: The LRD procedure may be used to repair or reconstruct blood vessels, nerves, or organs in the retroperitoneal space, such as in cases of aortic aneurysms or adrenal gland disorders.
