Retroperitoneal tumors and congenital variations in vascular anatomy of retroperitoneal great vessels

Variations in vascular anatomy (VIVAs) of the retroperitoneal great vessels are uncommon but can potentially complicate surgical procedures and negatively affect treatment outcomes, yet their incidence and clinical impact are poorly studied. We sought to assess the incidence and clinical impact of VIVAs of retroperitoneal great vessels in patients with retroperitoneal tumors.
