Abstract Background: To report the surgical management, complications, and outcomes for patients with retroperitoneal tumor and venous thrombus Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 19 cases of retroperitoneal tumor with venous tumor thrombus from August 2015 to March 2021. According to the characteristics of surgical techniques, a new tumor thrombus PUTH grading system was proposed. Results: There were 2 cases of PUTH-1a, 2 cases of PUTH-1b, 6 cases of PUTH-2, 6 cases of PUTH-3,3 cases of PUTH-4. All the operations were successfully performed in 19 patients. Among them, 5 cases (26.3%) were operated by completely laparoscopic approach and 13 cases (68.4%) were operated by open approach. One case (5.3%) was converted from laparoscopic approach to open approach. 5 cases experienced postoperative complications, the incidence was 26.3%. All the cases were followed-up for a median of 14 months. Cancer associated death were occurred in 3 cases. Distant metastases were occurred in 7 cases. Conclusions: In this study, we proposed a new tumor thrombus grading system based on the anatomical characteristics of retroperitoneal tumors with venous tumor thrombus. Retroperitoneal tumor resection and removal of venous tumor thrombus are safe and effective in the treatment of such diseases.

PurposeTo explore the different treatment strategies for urinary tumors with Mayo IV thrombus.Materials and MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the patients with Mayo IV thrombus in Peking University Third Hospital from January 2014 to April 2021. We used the Peking University Third Hospital (PUTH) grading system to classify urinary tumors with supradiaphragmatic thrombus. PUTH-A referred to the filled thrombus whose tip just reached above the diaphragm, or the thrombus entering the right atrium (< 2cm). PUTH-B referred to the filled thrombus entering the right atrium (> 2cm), or the thrombus invading the wall of the inferior pericardial vena cava. Detailed techniques were described for various scenarios. Clinicopathological data and perioperative outcomes were reported. Group difference statistical analysis was performed.ResultsA total of 26 cases of urinary tumors with supradiaphragmatic IVC thrombus (Mayo grade IV) underwent treatment were enrolled in this study. 19 patients in the PUTH-A group received the open approach without sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass. Seven patients in the PUTH-B group received open thoracotomy assisted by cardiopulmonary bypass. No intraoperative death occurred. After 56 months of follow-up, 46.2% (12 of 26) patients died of all causes. Estimated 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year overall survival were 72.0% (95% CI, 54.4%-89.6%), 58.2% (95% CI, 38.0%-78.4%), and 52.4% (95% CI, 31.2%-73.6%), respectively.ConclusionsWe introduced the PUTH grading system for the characteristics of urinary tumors with supradiaphragmatic tumor thrombus, and selected different surgical techniques according to different classifications. This grading system was relatively feasible and effective.

ABSTRACT Aim We aim to define and refine the surgical technique for dealing with intraluminal thrombus of great vessels in advanced differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) to reduce the morbidity. Background Venous tumor thrombus from DTC is a rare occurrence with sequelae that cause increased morbidity and early mortality. Management of such patients poses a challenge to surgeons. Materials and methods We define the surgical planning and road map for surgical management of advanced DTC with tumor thrombus involving the internal jugular vein (IJV) and superior vena cava (SVC) by sacrificing one IJV and retrieving the thrombus from the SVC by Fogarty catheter. This technique has minimal morbidity with good outcome. Conclusion By appropriate planning and meticulous surgical techniques, we can aggressively manage patients of advanced DTC with venous tumor thrombus and reduce the morbidity. Clinical significance By surgical techniques leading to complete surgical resections and saving native vital structures, we can aim for successful aggressive surgical management of advanced DTC with venous tumor thrombus.

Background. Surgical interventions for pancreatic pseudocyst (PP) are traditionally managed by an open surgical approach. With the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques, a laparoscopic surgical approach for PPs has been conducted increasingly with comparable outcomes. The present study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of surgical intervention for PPs between the laparoscopic approach and the open approach. Methods. Databases including Cochrane Library, PubMed, and EMBASE were searched to identify studies that compared the safety and efficacy of surgical intervention for PPs between the laparoscopic approach and the open approach (until Aug 1st 2020). Results. A total of 6 studies were eligible in qualitative synthesis. The laparoscopic approach was associated with less intraoperative blood loss (MD = −69.97; 95% CI: −95.14 to −44.70, P < 0.00001 ; P = 0.86 for heterogeneity) and shorter operating time (MD = −33.12; 95% CI: −62.24 to −4.00, P = 0.03 ; P < 0.00001 for heterogeneity). There was no significant difference found between the two approaches regarding the success rate and the recurrence rate. The postoperative complications and mortality rates were comparable between the two approaches. Conclusions. The laparoscopic approach for the surgical intervention of PPs is safe and efficacious with shorter-term benefits.

AbstractThe mandibular condyle is an integral structure in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) serving not only as the hinge point for mandibular opening, but also facilitating mandibular growth and contributing to facial aesthetics. Significant compromise of the TMJ can be debilitating functionally, psychologically, and aesthetically. Reconstruction of the mandibular condyle is rarely straightforward. Multiple considerations must be accounted for when preparing for condylar reconstruction such as ensuring eradication of all chronically diseased or infected bone, proving clear oncologic margins following tumor resection, or achieving stability of the surrounding architecture in the setting of a traumatic injury. Today, there is not one single gold-standard reconstructive method or material; ongoing investigation and innovation continue to improve and transform condylar reconstruction. Herein, we review methods of condylar reconstruction focusing on autologous and alloplastic materials, surgical techniques, and recent technological advances.

Abstract Background Tumor thrombus in the superior mesenteric vein secondary to colon cancer is rare. We report a case of tumor thrombus in the superior mesenteric vein and liver metastasis due to advanced colon cancer that was treated with chemotherapy and complete surgical resection. Case presentation A 72-year-old man after transverse colectomy with lymph node dissection for advanced colon cancer was diagnosed with tumor thrombus in the superior mesenteric vein and liver metastasis. He underwent adjuvant chemotherapy and had complete surgical tumor resection involving tumor thrombectomy and hepatectomy. There has been no recurrence at 36 months after surgery. Conclusion Herein, we report a rare case of tumor thrombus in the superior mesenteric vein related to advanced colon cancer. The combination of chemotherapy and complete surgical tumor resection may provide long-term survival.

275 Background: Venous tumor thrombus (VTT) extension occurs in 4-15% cases of renal cell cancer (RCC). The Mayo classification distinguishes 4 levels of VTT extension between the renal vein and supradiaphragmatic inferior vena cava (IVC). Although surgery is performed with curative intent, mortality is high (5-15%) with complications increasing with the level of the VTT. 5-year survival rates are poor; ~40-65% in non-metastatic RCC. It is hypothesised that neoadjuvant targeted therapy could downstage the VTT reducing the extent of surgery, leading to reduced surgical morbidity and mortality, and increased survival. However, level I or II evidence is lacking. NAXIVA provides the first level II evidence in this patient group, assessing the response of VTT to axitinib. Extensive translational sampling will provide in depth interrogation of VTT (using genomics, proteomics, immunophenotyping and metabolomics) to examine the role of the tumor microenvironment of VTT and response to axitinib. Methods: NAXIVA was a single arm, single agent, multi-center phase 2 feasibility study of axitinib in patients with both metastatic and non-metastatic clear cell RCC prior to nephrectomy and thrombectomy. A Simon two stage minimax design was adopted and the trial designed for adequate power to distinguish a <5% from a >25% improvement in the Mayo VTT level. 21 patients were recruited over a 24 month period between 15/Dec/2017 and 06/Jan/2020 at 5 sites across the UK. Patients were treated with 8 weeks of axitinib (starting dose 5mg bd, increasing to 10mg bd as tolerated) prior to planned surgery. The primary endpoint was the percentage of evaluable patients with an improvement in VTT according to the Mayo classification (assessed using MRI abdomen scans at screening and week 9, prior to surgery. Secondary endpoints were percentage change in surgical approach, percentage change in VTT height, response rate (by RECIST) and evaluation of surgical morbidity assessed by Clavien-Dindo classification. Results: The percentage of evaluable patients with an improvement in VTT according to the Mayo classification was 26.58% [80% CI: 15.76%, 39.74%] (6 of 21 evaluable patients). 35.29% (6 of 17 patients who progressed to surgery) had a change in surgical approach to a less invasive option. There was a median percentage reduction in VTT height of 21.49% (SD=27.60%). The response rate (by RECIST) in the evaluable population was 61.90% SD, 14.29% PR, 9.52% PD. In terms of surgical morbidity 11.76% (2 of 17 patients who progressed to surgery) experienced a Clavien-Dindo 3 or greater complication (0 CD3, 1 CD4, 1 CD5). Conclusions: NAXIVA provides unique prospective data on the feasibility of neoadjuvant axitinib administration to down stage IVC VTT and reduce the extent of surgery. Work is ongoing to establish predictors of response. Clinical trial information: NCT03494816 .
