Process Involved for Retroperitoneum Surgery in Durban

Before Surgery: The patient will undergo preoperative imaging (CT or MRI), blood tests, and, if needed, an ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy to determine whether surgery is indicated. The patient's general health will also be assessed for anaesthetic suitability.
During Surgery: The surgery will be performed under general anaesthesia, using either an open or a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) technique. The surgeon makes an incision and creates access to the retroperitoneal cavity. The tumour will be excised along with any surrounding tissue that may be cancerous, but care will be taken to protect vital organs and blood vessels during the procedure.
After Surgery: The patient will be evaluated for potential complications and gradually reintroduced to fluids and food. The medical team will assist with pain control, wound care, and physical therapy for rehabilitation following surgery.
