Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) frequently involve major vessels, which either originate from them or secondarily encase or invade them. In this field, major vascular resections result in increased morbidity. However, survival does not seem to be affected by the need for vascular resection or by this higher morbidity. This paper aims to provide descriptions of the surgical strategy and outcomes for retroperitoneal sarcomas involving major vessels.
