Robotic-assisted surgical XXXX : a novel approach to a rare variant.

@entity808 @entity1 @entity530 @entity5
BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted excision of a pelvic @entity808 is presented. METHODS: A 27 year-old female presented with occasional numbness of the right thigh. Imaging studies revealed a large mass adjacent to the right ovary. Robotic surgery with adjunctive electrophysiological monitoring was performed. The mass was adhered to the L4, L5 roots and was displacing the iliac vessels and the ureter. The @entity5 bulk was decompressed and total excision was facilitated. RESULTS: Pathology revealed a @entity5 consisting of spindle cells. Immunochemistry revealed S-100(+) and a growth index Ki-67 < 1%. These findings were consistent with the diagnosis of @entity808 . The intraoperative time was comparable to laparoscopy and the @entity1 had an uneventful recovery. CONCLUSION: @entity808 is often diagnosed only when it is large enough to produce symptoms. Robotic surgery with adjunctive electrophysiological monitoring is a safe technique for the @entity530 .
