Robotic resection of recurrent pediatric lipoblastoma.

This case demonstrates successful resection of a rare, recurrent presacral-pelvic lipoblastoma in a 19-year-old female patient. Because of the anatomical location of the mass and its proximity to vital structures, the robotic approach allowed for both optimal visualization and effective debulking of the mass. Furthermore, with the use of an articulating laparoscopic camera, key visualization of the posterior lateral pelvis was possible. Using a wide breadth of technologies and resources is essential to broadening the surgical armamentarium and achieving resectability in otherwise challenging cases.
