Surgery is currently the only effective treatment for retroperitoneal tumors that do not involve any specific organ. The use of robots removing both benign and malignant considered safe feasible. However, there insufficient evidence to determine whether robotic tumor resection (RMBRs) superior open (OMBRs). This study compares short-term outcomes excision with same-sized tumors.
