Retroperitoneal and pelvic schwannoma/neurofibroma resection: surgical strategies and outcomes in a neurosurgical cohort

Surgical resection of retroperitoneal and pelvic schwannomas and neurofibromas, while technically challenging, is safe and effective when performed by experienced surgeons and multidisciplinary preoperative planning. None of our patients experienced postoperative complications, which may, in part, be attributable to the use of intraoperative neuromonitoring. However, comparative and prospective studies are recommended to further validate these findings.
