Transdiaphragmatic adrenalectomy for metastatic cervical adenocarcinoma: a technical case report
We present a 60-year old woman with recurrent cervical adenocarcinoma who presented with metastasis to both lungs and to her right adrenal gland. A thoracotomy was performed for resection of her pulmonary metastasis and then the right adrenal gland was excised through a trans-diaphragmatic approach...

| description | We present a 60-year old woman with recurrent cervical adenocarcinoma who presented with metastasis to both lungs and to her right adrenal gland. A thoracotomy was performed for resection of her pulmonary metastasis and then the right adrenal gland was excised through a trans-diaphragmatic approach. The adrenal gland resection was more complex due to involvement of the tumor with the inferior vena cava (IVC) which was repaired with a PTFE patch graft. This case demonstrates both an interesting approach to surgical resection of multiple metastases as well as a safe, although more challenging, alternative to partially resect and repair the IVC. |
