Laparoscopic resection of intra-abdominal testicular tumor

Urology. 1998 Jan;51(1):122-4. doi: 10.1016/s0090-4295(97)00467-6.

Abstract

Intra-abdominal testicular neoplasms are difficult to diagnose, with open surgical exploration and excision the traditional mode of therapy. We report a patient with an intra-abdominal seminoma resected laparoscopically. In patients who present without evidence of retroperitoneal adenopathy, laparoscopy can be used for diagnosis, and with minimally invasive surgical techniques, to resect these tumors.
