[Surgical management of retroperitoneal metastases from germ cell cancers].
The surgery of residual retroperitoneal tumors is a compulsory prolongation of chemotherapy in non seminomatous germ cell tumors. The requirements of total resection must be respected. High morbidity of bilateral lymphadenectomy for large bulky disease is possible and implies specialised surgery. The extent of surgery can be limited to a template area in specific circumstances.
