Complications of Tumor Nephrectomy with and Without Tumor Thrombus in the Vena Cava, Recorded with the Clavien-Dindo Classification: A Matched-Pair Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

Radical nephrectomy (RN) with inferior vena cava thrombectomy (IVCT) is indicated for the curative management of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with tumor thrombus (TT). In the literature, any direct comparison of complications between RNs with or without IVCT is lacking. The objective of this study was to analyze and compare complications after RNs with or without IVCT.

Methods

A retrospective evaluation of the complications recorded in RCC patients who underwent RN with (TT group, n = 44) or without (non-TT group, n = 44) IVCT between 2009 and 2021 was conducted. The non-TT group was identified via propensity-score matched-pair analysis. Postoperative complications up until discharge or postoperative day 30, whichever came first, were classi
