Vascular Anomalies During Laparoscopic Renal Surgery: Incidence and Management of Left-Sided Inferior Vena Cava
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Left-sided inferior vena cava (IVC) is an unusual abnormality that may be clinically significant during renal surgery. METHODS We report the unique case of a patient with a centrally located left renal mass who underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. During the hilar dissection, unusual vascular anatomy was encountered. The patient was noted to have a left-sided inferior vena cava with multiple renal veins and anomalous tributaries. Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy was performed without complication. DISCUSSION The embryology of a left-sided inferior vena cava is reviewed, and the safety and feasibility of a laparoscopic approach is discussed.

Anomalies of the inferior vena cava and renal veins and implications for renal surgery
Abnormalities of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and renal veins are extremely rare. However, with the increasing use of computed tomography (CT), these anomalies are more frequently diagnosed. The majority of venous anomalies are asymptomatic and they include left sided IVC, duplicated IVC, absent IVC as well as retro-aortic and circumaortic renal veins. The embryological development of the IVC i...

Preoperative knowledge of the presence of major venous anomalies facilitates the safe performance of aortic surgery. The purpose of the study was to estimate the incidence, as detected by abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (CT), of major venous and renal anomalies related to the abdominal aorta in an adult population. A total of 1822 intravenous contrast-enhanced abdominal and pelvic CT s...

Left-sided inferior vena cava (IVC) is the second most common anatomical anomaly of the IVC after duplication. Herein, we present two cases of left-sided IVC, diagnosed during organ retrieval procedure. In a young brain-dead man, a single left-sided IVC was observed; it originated from iliac confluence in the left side of the aorta and extended throughout the abdomen. There was no retrohepatic ...

OBJECTIVE To report a case of left sided inferior vena cava (IVC). MATERIAL AND METHOD The authors carried out the standard dissection survey of939 embalmed cadavers between 1974 and 2008. RESULTS The authors encountered a case of left sided IVC in a male donated cadaver aged 65 years at decease. The IVC formed behind the left common iliac artery at the L5 vertebra and coursed proximally on...
