[Diagnosis of adenopathies and retroperitoneal masses by surgical endoscopy. Apropos of 93 cases].
Lumboscopy is an endoscopic surgical technique providing direct visualization of the retroperitoneal space from the kidney hilium to the iliac bifurcation. We report our 10-year experience with this technique used to diagnose masses in the retroperitoneal space. This method is not very invasive and the morbidity is low. The sensitivity is greater than needle biopsy under CT guidance.
