INTRODUCTION: This article describes a case series outlining the experience and results of the retroperitoneal minimally invasive @entity788 (MIPN) procedure performed by, or done under the supervision of, a single surgeon. METHODS: All data of the @entity1 who underwent MIPN from 2006 to 2008 were entered into a prospectively maintained, computerized database. RESULTS: A total of 93 MIPN procedures were performed on 32 @entity1 . All @entity1 had severe acute @entity788 . The median number of MIPN procedures per @entity1 was 3. Only 6 @entity1 needed intensive care unit (ICU) admission after MIPN. There were 15 complications, which included @entity548 requiring transfusion (n = 3), bowel fistulae (n = 7), @entity1031 events (n = 2) and acute @entity583 (n = 3). Four @entity1 died after the procedure (13%); 1 died of @entity177 in spite of the MIPN. Four @entity1 developed @entity9007 within the follow-up period of 2 years. Three of these @entity1 required intervention. CONCLUSION: This case series demonstrates that MIPN can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality and with good end results. The ICU dependency after the procedure is minimal. As seen in this series, multiple MIPNs may be needed to eradicate the @entity39 satisfactorily. and IAP.
