Robotic level II inferior vena cava thrombectomy for metastatic melanoma

Robotic level II inferior vena cava thrombectomy for metastatic melanoma

We report on a case of a 38-year-old female who presented with metastatic malignant melanoma of her right kidney with Level II tumor thrombus. This is the first ever presented case of a renal melanoma IVC tumor thrombus. Furthermore, in an effort to expand the surgical scope of minimally invasive an...
