The 3 cm tumor thrombus extended from the inferior vena cava – IVC (the largest vein in the body) and extended to the right kidney measuring 6 cm x 5.5 cm x 5 cm.
This caused obstruction to blood flow and also caused the right kidney to enlarge to 12 cm x 7 cm x 6 cm (normal size of a human kidney is approximately 10 cm x 5 cm x 3 cm). The patient also had pre-existing kidney failure, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Doctors resorted to robotic radical nephrectomy with inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombectomy to treat Dutta. The surgery helped remove the large tumor and he was discharged within five days.
Dr. Tarun Jindal, Senior Consultant, Euro-Oncology, said, “The integration of robotic technology in kidney tumor removal has redefined complex tumor removal procedures. With unparalleled precision and minimally invasive approach, robotic surgery carefully removes tumors "provides remarkable capability in ensuring the sorting of Robotic Surgeon, Apollo Cancer Centre, Kolkata.
“The level of accuracy can be seen in the patient's case, due to which he recovered rapidly and returned to normal life after treatment despite the extensive nature of the surgery. The innovative method not only enhances the surgical results but it also reduces the postoperative Also reduces." “Complications prompt changes in oncological care,” he said.
The minimally invasive robotic approach involved small incisions each measuring 8 mm, compared to the approximately 30 cm cuts required in traditional open surgery.
This results in less pain, less need for analgesics, faster return of bowel function and earlier discharge, allowing patients to return to normal life faster.
