Embryological Aspects and Anatomical Variations of the Inferior Vena Cava – Its Importance in Gynecologic Oncology Surgery

Summary Surgical procedures of the retroperitoneum are often performed in gynecologic oncology surgery clinics. The most complex among them is paraaortic lymphadenectomy. It generally cases bulky lymph nodes ovarian carcinomas and sarcomas to achieve optimal cytoreduction. In early stages cancer, type II non-endometrioid endometrial advanced cervical lymphadenectomy an integral part staging. Moreover, approached retroperitoneal sarcomas. largest vessels human body – inferior vena cava abdominal aorta localized retroperitoneum. Therefore, iatrogenic vessel injury during oncogynecological more likely affect cava. Anatomical variations vein additionally increase risk vascular lesions. surgeons should be aware possible anatomical variations. present article aimed highlight heterogeneity related surgery. Embryogenesis its also discussed. Additionally, some anomalies ureter, associated with embryogenesis cava, mentioned.
