AUA 2018: Comparison Between Liver Derotation with Pringle Manoeuvre and Cardiopulmonary Bypass with Deep-Hypothermic Cardiac Arrest for Kidney Cancer with Mayo Level III Tumor Thrombus
Between 1990 and 2017, 37 consecutive patients underwent surgery for RCC and Mayo level III tumor thrombus. Among these patients, 18 patients were included in Group A (2007-2016) and 19 in Group B (1990 - 2006).
The results demonstrated that only Charlson Comorbidity Index and ASA scores were different among preoperative variables between the two groups. In Group A, patients presented with a worse fitness and higher comorbidity status before surgery (all p=0.01). Surgical time and units of blood transfused were inferior for patients in Group A compared to Group B (respectively, 310 vs. 510 min, 4 vs. 8 units, p=0.05). No difference between groups was recorded for cancer mortality rate (11% vs. 21%, p=0.7).
The authors concluded that in patients with RCC and level III tumor thrombus, liver de-rotation and Pringle maneuver, in comparison to CBP and DHCA, provided shorter surgical operation time, better perioperative outcomes, and shorter length of hospital stay, despite patients having worse comorbidity and fitness preoperative status.
