Vascular Anomalies During Laparoscopic Renal Surgery: Incidence and Management of Left-Sided Inferior Vena Cava

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, unu...

description 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.
