A 60-year-old male was found to have an 8.0 cm left renal mass and associated renal vein thrombus on CT. The thrombus extended 3 mm beyond the right aortic border to within 1.6 cm of the left border of the IVC. The patient underwent left nephrectomy with renal vein thrombectomy using a hand-assisted laparoscopic (HAL) approach. The tumor thrombus was "milked" proximally back into left renal vein, which was then divided with an endovascular stapler.
Left renal vein thrombi extending to right margin of the aorta can be managed with hand-assisted laparoscopic approach.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 January 2016.
All research outputs
#16,721,717
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Urology
#5,672
of 7,811 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#230,945
of 400,029 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Urology
#105
of 163 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,811 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 400,029 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 163 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
