Robotic-assisted left renal vein transposition with distal gonadal vein anastomosis: A novel technique for dual venous drainage in nutcracker syndrome
Objective
To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of a novel robotic-assisted laparoscopic technique—Di's II robotic-assisted left renal vein (LRV) transposition with distal gonadal vein (GV) anastomosis—creating dual venous drainage for treating nutcracker syndrome (NCS).
Methods
Between December 2023 and October 2024, three male patients (median age, 14 years) with NCS underwent robotic-assisted LRV transposition using the Di's II technique. Key procedural innovations included selective occlusion of the infrarenal inferior vena cava (IVC) and LRV without right renal vein clamping, combined with distal GV anastomosis to enhance venous drainage. Operative parameters, including anastomosis time, blood loss, and postoperative outcomes, were analyzed retrospectively.
Results
All procedures were successfully completed robotically. Median total operative time was 145 minutes (range, 135-160 minutes), with LRV and GV anastomosis times of 25 minutes (range, 24-27 minutes). The median estimated blood loss was 40 mL (range, 30-50 mL). Postoperative imaging confirmed resolution of LRV compression, with pressure gradients reduced to ≤2.8 mm Hg. Symptoms (hematuria, proteinuria, and varicocele) resolved within 6 months, and no perioperative complications occurred during follow-up.
Conclusions
The Di's II technique represents a safe and effective minimally invasive approach for NCS, combining robotic precision with dual venous drainage to alleviate LRV hypertension and pelvic congestion. Preliminary outcomes demonstrate technical feasibility, a lower ischemia risk, and symptom resolution, supporting further validation in larger cohorts.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Vascular Surgery: Venous and Lymphatic Disorders is one of a series of specialist journals launched by the Journal of Vascular Surgery. It aims to be the premier international Journal of medical, endovascular and surgical management of venous and lymphatic disorders. It publishes high quality clinical, research, case reports, techniques, and practice manuscripts related to all aspects of venous and lymphatic disorders, including malformations and wound care, with an emphasis on the practicing clinician. The journal seeks to provide novel and timely information to vascular surgeons, interventionalists, phlebologists, wound care specialists, and allied health professionals who treat patients presenting with vascular and lymphatic disorders. As the official publication of The Society for Vascular Surgery and the American Venous Forum, the Journal will publish, after peer review, selected papers presented at the annual meeting of these organizations and affiliated vascular societies, as well as original articles from members and non-members.
