  • Title: Renal cell carcinoma with infrahepatic vena caval tumor thrombus treated with a novel combined retroperitoneal and transperitoneal pure laparoscopic procedure.
    Author: Tang Q, Wang T, Li X, Zhang Z, Song G, He Z, Zhou L.
    Journal: Urology; 2014 May; 83(5):e9-10. PubMed ID: 24767537.
    Abstract:
    A 61-year-old male patient presented with intermittent gross hematuria. A right renal mass with infrahepatic vena caval tumor thrombus was found using magnetic resonance imaging. We undertook a novel combined retroperitoneal and transperitoneal pure laparoscopic nephrectomy with vena caval thrombectomy for this patient. The patient recovered well after surgery and discharged on day 6. A clear cell renal cell carcinoma with venous extension was confirmed by pathologic assay. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such a novel hybrid surgical strategy.
