Treatment of primary abdominal wall tumors via minimally invasive surgery
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery : Concepts & Practice - Year 2024, Vol 29, Issue 4
Abstract
Primary abdominal wall tumors constitute approximately 10% of the total spectrum of soft tissue tumors. Based on their biological characteristics, these tumors can be classified into three distinct categories: benign, malignant, and borderline. Different subtypes of abdominal wall tumors exhibit significant heterogeneity in clinical manifestations, pathological features, and prognostic outcomes. A comprehensive preoperative evaluation by a multidisciplinary team, incorporating both pathological and radiological assessments, is indispensable for tailoring individualized treatment strategies. In recent years, laparoscopic surgery has emerged as a promising modality for resection and reconstruction of abdominal wall tumors, particularly those deep-seated or intramural. Compared with conventional open surgery, laparoscopic surgery offers several advantages, including reduced tissue trauma, precise tumor resection, lower rate of postoperative complications, faster recovery, and enhanced cosmetic results. Nevertheless, the long-term efficacy and the breadth of applications of laparoscopic surgery in the management of abdominal wall tumors warrant further investigation through rigorous clinical trials.
