Abstract
ObjectiveTo present a case that involved para-aortic lymphadenectomy in the aortocaval and retrocaval region involving the division of the left renal vein (LRV). MethodsA 36-year-old woman presented with ovarian cancer and isolated nodal recurrence located in the aortocaval and retrocaval region above and below the renal vein. Cytoreduction of para-aortic lymph nodes involving the division of the LRV was performed. Results and conclusionDivision of the LRV facilitates the separation of the lymph nodes from the renal artery or inferior vena cava under direct vision. No intra- or early postoperative complications, including renal dysfunction, occurred. Further analyses with long-term follow-up are warranted to evaluate this surgical method.
