Key result
Robotic suprarenal cavectomy for level II IVC tumor thrombus achieves zero complications and 2-day discharge.
Why the study?
Surgical repair of level II IVC tumor thrombus is technically challenging due to the need for complete vascular control and safe thrombus extraction.
Case Report (n=1)
Robotic suprarenal cavectomy for level II IVC tumor thrombus can be performed safely with meticulous vascular dissection and sequential control.
Offers technical guidance for level II IVC thrombectomy; leaves open reproducibility and outcome data in larger cohorts.
Surgical repair of a level II inferior vena cava (IVC) tumor thrombus is a technical challenge because it requires achieving complete vascular control and ensuring safe thrombus extraction. In this video, we aim to highlight surgical technical principles. A 66-year-old female with a history of anemia was incidentally found to have a 15-cm right renal mass and level II IVC tumor thrombus. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed, and the patient had a 2-day hospital stay. Adherence to meticulous vascular dissection, sequential control of tributaries, and careful handling of tumor thrombus are essential to optimize oncological outcomes.

Eskenazi et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Right renal mass and level II inferior vena cava tumor thrombus (n=1). Robotic suprarenal cavectomy was evaluated on Intraoperative or postoperative complications. Robotic suprarenal cavectomy for a level II inferior vena cava tumor thrombus was performed successfully with no intraoperative or postoperative complications and a 2-day hospital stay.
