Abstract

With appropriate patient selection, surgical planning and robotic experience, completely intracorporeal robotic level III inferior vena cava thrombectomy is feasible and can be performed efficiently. Larger experience, longer followup and comparison with open surgery are needed to confirm these initial outcomes.
