Background: Retroperitoneal sarcomas(RPS) are rare tumors with an expected incidence of 5-1 new cases/100,000 inhabitants per year.1 Despite the advent of modern imaging, the associated increase incidental diagnoses, retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma (RPS) remains sararemalignancy occurring 0.5 to 1.0 per 100,000 populations.1 The rarity of these tumors and the complexity of their treatment require multi-disciplinary management in specialized centers to improve oncologic and clinical outcomes.2 Moreover, sarcomas in the retroperitoneum have a worse prognosis than sarcomas in the extremities.3 Surgery remains the curative treatment for RPS. Unlike extremity sarcomas, however, RPS can expand massively in the confines of the retroperitoneum prior to detection and diagnosis, making these resections challenges. Objective: The main objective of this study was to assess the surgical management modalities and their post-operative outcomes of retroperitoneal sarcomas. Methods and Materials: This was a cross-sectional study from initially all the patients were enrolled by purposive sampling. Thereafter, they were scrutinized by eligibility criteria. All the patients underwent definitive surgery. A preformed structured peer-reviewed data collection sheet was prepared which was used to collect data. Data were compiled, edited, and analyzed by SPSS version 24.0. The result was tabulated in table and figure form. Data analysis was done by Pearson’s chi-square test and student’s t-test. P-value was significant at <0.05. Results: Out of 30 patient’s maximum of 13(43.33%) patients belonged to the 50-59 years ' age group which was subsequently followed by 6(20%) in the>60 years’ age group. Rest 5(16.67%), 4(13.33%) and 2(6.66%) patients belonged to 40-49 years, 30-39 years, and ≤ 29 year’s age group respectively. Out of 30 patients, 25(83.33%) were male and 5(16.67%) were female. The male-female ratio was 5:1. Among the total 30 patients, 22(73.33) and 8(26.67%) were primary .....
