Laparoscopic Extravascular Renal Vein Stent Placement for Nutcracker Syndrome

Abstract

The indications for surgical management with the nutcracker syndrome depend on the severity of the symptoms, and laparoscopic extravascular stent placement in the renal vein is a feasible approach for reestablishing free renal venous outflow. This slightly invasive treatment can eliminate the symptoms of the condition. Longer follow-up and more experience are necessary to make conclusions about its feasibility in contemporary practice, however.
