Robotic IVC thrombectomy

Robotic IVC thrombectomy is an advanced, minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove blood clots (thrombi) from the inferior vena cava (IVC)—the major vein that carries blood from the lower body to the heart. This condition is often associated with renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer) extending into the IVC or severe deep vein thrombosis (DVT). By utilizing robotic-assisted technology, surgeons achieve greater precision, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery, ensuring better patient outcomes.
Detailed Information
✔ Minimally invasive procedure with smaller incisions
✔ Greater precision using robotic-assisted technology
✔ Reduced blood loss and lower risk of complications
✔ Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
✔ Improved post-operative outcomes for kidney cancer patients
✔ Preoperative imaging (CT scan/MRI) to assess clot size and extent
✔ Small keyhole incisions for inserting robotic surgical instruments
✔ Precision removal of the thrombus from the IVC
✔ Reconstruction of the vein if needed to restore normal blood flow
✔ Hospital stay of 3–5 days, depending on the patient’s condition
✔ Faster return to daily activities within 2–4 weeks
✔ Less pain and lower infection risk compared to open surgery
✔ Regular follow-ups to monitor vascular health and prevent recurrence
✔ Smaller incisions mean less scarring and faster healing
✔ Robotic precision reduces surgical risks
✔ Lower post-operative complications
✔ Quicker recovery compared to traditional approaches
