Introduction: Cystic liver lesions may be benign cysts, parasitic infestations, or malignant tumors requiring surgical resection. Hilar location and relation to major vasculature present challenges in conventional surgical access and resection.Materials and Methods: We describe totally robotic excision of a cystadenoma in a 55-year-old woman without complication. Time points in the accompanying video (https://youtu.be/Tn_QPgpSHA4) are embedded within the text.Results: Advantages of the robotic technique lie in overcoming the natural restriction of conventional laparoscopic instruments, easier repair, and control of intraoperative vascular injuries using EndoWrist® instruments, ergonomic dissection close to major vasculature and reduced intraoperative blood loss as dissection is easier.Discussion: Indications for robotic surgery included the large size of the cystic lesion, its intrahepatic location, and compression of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and right and middle hepatic veins. Had robotic removal of the lesion not been feasible, the entire lobe of the liver would have required resection.

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) results from the occlusion or flow reduction in the hepatic veins or inferior vena cava and can be treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt when hepatic vein recanalization fails.1-3 Hypercoagulable patients with primary BCS are predisposed to development of new areas of thrombosis within the TIPS shunt or IVC. This case details a patient with BCS, pre-existing TIPS extending to the right atrium, and chronic retrohepatic IVC thrombosis who underwent sharp recanalization of the IVC with stenting into the TIPS stent bridging the patient until his subsequent hepatic transplantation.

Budd-Chiari syndrome is an uncommon disease caused by an obstruction to hepatic venous outflow either at the level of the hepatic veins or in the hepatic part of the inferior vena cava. Clinically, it presents with ascites, abdominal pain, hepatomegaly, edema, and occasionally jaundice. The syndrome was first recognised by Lamboran1 in 1842 and later described by Budd2 in 1846 and Chiari3 in 1899. The syndrome is caused by obstruction to the hepatic veins. In the Fig 1. Photograph showing massive ascites and dilated superficial abdominal veins. majority of cases, the obstruction is ascribed to obliterative thrombophlebitis of unknown cause.4

Introduction. Leiomyosarcomas of the inferior vena cava are rare malignant tumors. A limited number of these cases have been described so far. Only few of them have intracardiac propagation and surgery is rarely undertaken for their treatment. Case Outline. We present a 52-year-old female patient in whom leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava with intracardiac propagation was diagnosed. The patient underwent successful surgical treatment with complete removal of the tumor and direct suture of the inferior vena cava. No additional modalities of therapy were undertaken. Conclusion. Surgery, without radiation therapy can be a successful option for the treatment of inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma with a good short-term result.
