METHODS One patient with NCS underwent the surgery. He complained of gross hematuria and flank discomfort that could not be relieved by resting. He was placed in a supine position and 5 ports were placed in the right abdominal wall. The procedures were performed with a retroperitoneal approach. The LRV was transected and then reimplanted into the distal inferior vena cava. RESULTS The procedures were performed successfully without any major complications. The total operation time was 110 min. Hematuria and flank discomfort were resolved after the surgery. Ultrasonography revealed a patent lumen without compression. CONCLUSIONS Retroperitoneal laparoscopic reimplantation of the LRV appears to be a feasible procedure with minimal invasion, rapid recovery and satisfactory short-term outcomes. © 2015 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 193Issue 4SApril 2015Page: e978 Peer Review Report Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2015 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.MetricsAuthor Information Ming Chen More articles by this author Tao Tao More articles by this author Bin Xu More articles by this author Lei Zhang More articles by this author Shu-qiu Chen More articles by this author Xiao-wen Zhang More articles by this author Yu Yang More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
