title: Hand-assisted laparoscopic removal of retroperitoneal liposarcoma.
abstract: Liposarcoma is known to be the most common soft-tissue sarcoma, and the treatment of retroperitoneal disease is surgical excision. We present a case of complete surgical removal with concomitant nephrectomy using a hand-assisted laparoscopic approach and provide a review of the published studies.
