At Life Kingsbury Hospital, Retroperitoneum Surgery is performed using specialized retroperitoneal and abdominal surgical techniques with comprehensive diagnostic and imaging assessment. Established in 1918, this accredited hospital in Cape Town, South Africa has 212 beds and offers advanced oncology, urology, gastrointestinal, vascular, and minimally invasive surgical services.

Retroperitoneum Surgery may be considered for patients with tumors or other conditions involving structures located behind the abdominal cavity. Before treatment, CT, MRI, PET imaging, biopsy, blood tests, and other investigations may be used to characterize the disease and assess its relationship with nearby organs and major blood vessels. The procedure may involve removal of a localized mass or more extensive resection of involved tissues when necessary.
