Sohana Hospital has successfully performed a highly challenging robotic-assisted right radical nephrectomy (kidney removal) with IVC thrombectomy, a procedure considered among the most complex in urological cancers. The surgery was led by Dr. Karamveer Singh Sabharwal, Chief Urologist & Robotic Surgeon at Sohana Hospital, Mohali.
The 73-year-old patient was diagnosed with a large right kidney tumor extending into the inferior vena cava (IVC) which is the major blood vessel carrying blood back to the heart, a condition that significantly increases surgical difficulty and risks. Utilizing the advanced Da Vinci Xi Robotic surgical system, Dr. Sabharwal and his team executed the procedure with exceptional precision, ensuring complete tumor removal while maintaining patient safety.
Highlights of the Case was Successful robotic removal of the diseased right kidney, Complete extraction of tumor thrombus from the IVC, Reduced blood loss and improved intra-operative contro and Faster recovery due to minimally invasive robotic technique. Robotic Surgery offers unparalleled benefits to patients with complex urological cancers through small cuts, minimal blood loss and quicker return to normal life.
Speaking about the achievement, Dr. Karamveer Singh Sabharwal said that Tumors involving the IVC require meticulous planning and advanced surgical skill. Robotic technology allows us to perform such high-risk procedures with greater accuracy, minimal incisions and hardly any blood loss leading to better patient outcomes. The patient is currently stable and discharged from the hospital, He further added.
