Abstract
Complete resection of large retroperitoneal tumors often requires vascular resection and reconstruction, which is frequently performed using prosthetic grafts. We report our experience with inferior vena cava reconstruction utilizing a large peritoneal interposition tube graft performed during en bloc resection of retroperitoneal sarcoma and multiorgan resection. This study aimed to increase the awareness of surgical oncologists about the venous reconstruction technique using a large autologous peritoneal graft.
An elderly male presented to our cancer center with a history of persistent abdominal pain. The computed tomography (CT) scan reported a large retroperitoneal mass involving the right kidney and the inferior vena cava (IVC). En bloc tumor resection with right nephrectomy and resection of the IVC extending from just above the bifurcation up to the origin of the renal veins was done. IVC reconstruction was performed using autologous parietal peritoneum tube graft. Harvesting the peritoneum and fashioning a large peritoneal tube graft was challenging. Post-operatively, the patient recovered without any complications and was discharged on oral anticoagulants. The CT scan during the follow-up visit at 6 months revealed that the IVC graft was patent with a good flow. Autologous peritoneal grafts are a safe, valid, and readily available option for venous reconstruction.
