The mini-invasive anterior extra peritoneal approach to the pelvis.
Retroperitoneal pelvic tumours are rare and their surgical approach is challenging. Various surgical approaches have been proposed. We present here an original mini-invasive anterior retroperitoneal approach the pelvic retroperitoneum, which was successful in a 26-year-old woman who had a benign schwannoma of the left sacral plexus. This technique presents advantages over other techniques that were considered in this case, as the least invasive and safest procedure.
