Abstract: Objective To explore the value of Ligasure vessel sealing system(LVSS)during resection of retroperitoneal tumor.Methods Group 1 including 32 cases were performed resection of retroperitoneal tumor with LVSS and electrosurgical seapel from Jun.2004 to Oct.2008.group 2 including 26 cases were done with electrosurgieal seapel from Jan.2001 to Jun.2004.Operating blood loss,operating time,iatrogenic injury,postoperative blood loss and hospital stay were compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in hospital stay[(11.7±0.7)d vs.(12.3±1.4)d)]and iatrogenic injury(9.38%vs.16.00%)between two groups statistically(P＞0.05),but the intraoperative blood lose[(403.1±37.1)ml vs.(704.0±129.0)m1)s,postoperative blood loss[(131.5±18.4)ml vs.(214.8±29.2)ml)]and operating time[(166.5±8.9)min vs.(186.8±15.4)min]were less in group 1 than that in group 2(P＜0.05).Conclusion Ligasure vessel sealing system has advantages of safe coagulation,shortening operation time in resection of retroperitoneal tumor.
