Application of Cattell-Braasch maneuver in the surgical treatment of retroperitoneal tumors
Abstract：Objective To investigate the feasibilities and safeties of the application of Cattell-Braasch maneuver in the surgical treatment of retroperitoneal tumors. Methods The clinical data of 47 cases of retroperitoneal tumors which explored by Cattell-Braasch maneuver intraoperatively at Peking University Cancer Hospital between July 2007 and March 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Results All tumors in 47 cases were resected completely. Operations lasted for 110 to 835 min (average:320min),in which only 10 to 15 min were needed for Cattell-Braasch maneuver. The blood loss was 50 to 4500mL. The sizes of the resected tumor were 3.2 to 39.5cm. Neither abdominal organs nor vessels were accidentally injured by Cattell-Braasch maneuver in all cases. Conclusion Cattell-Braasch maneuver could provide satisfactory explosion of retroperitoneal spaces and improve security of en-bloc resection of retroperitoneal tumors.
