  • Title: Laparoscopic transposition of the left renal vein into the inferior vena cava for nutcracker syndrome.
    Author: Hartung O, Azghari A, Barthelemy P, Boufi M, Alimi YS.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2010 Sep; 52(3):738-41. PubMed ID: 20576393.
    Abstract:
    Reimplantation of the left renal vein into the infrarenal inferior vena cava is the standard surgical procedure for nutcracker syndrome. A 40-year-old woman with a solitary left kidney suffered from left lumbar pain and hematuria. Imaging techniques found a large kidney with nutcracker syndrome. A totally laparoscopic transposition of the left renal vein was performed. Twelve months later, the patient is improved and has no more hematuria. Duplex scan showed no residual stenosis. Laparoscopic transposition of the left renal vein into the inferior vena cava is feasible with short length of stay and good short-term result.
