  • Title: Extension incision for renal carcinoma including invaded vena cava and right lobe of liver.
    Author: Sakaguchi S, Hishiki S, Nakamura S, Koyano K, Kosaka A.
    Journal: Urology; 1992 Mar; 39(3):285-8. PubMed ID: 1546426.
    Abstract:
    We report on a thirty-five-year-old woman with renal cell carcinoma who successfully underwent right radical nephrectomy and extended right hepatic lobectomy with resection and reconstruction of inferior vena cava (IVC). A temporary bypass was placed between the infrarenal IVC and right atrium using a heparin-coated synthetic tube. The tumor was resected en bloc including right kidney, adrenal gland, hepatic lobe, and IVC. The IVC was reconstructed using an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (EPTFE) graft. Her postoperative course was uneventful with no signs of recurrence four years after surgery.
