Objective:To explore the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted retrohepatic inferior vena cava(IVC) tumor thrombectomy for renal tumor patients with a single position.Methods:The clinical data of 6 renal tumor patients with retrohepatic IVC thrombus (5 males and 1 female, mean age of 58 years) who underwent robot-assisted retrohepatic IVC tumor thrombectomy with a single position in First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from December 2015 to August 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Four cases had the renal tumor on the right side and two on the left side. The mean tumor size was 9.6 cm(range 7-13 cm). There were 4 cases of Mayo level Ⅱ and 2 cases of level Ⅲ IVC thrombus with the mean IVC thrombus length of 6.5 cm(range 5-8cm). The "IVC-first, kidney-last" robotic technique was developed to minimize chances of IVC thrombus embolization for retrohepatic IVC thrombus, and a "artery-first, vein-second" robotic operative strategy were developed to minimize chances of intraoperative hemorrhage. The whole procedure (the suprahepatic infradiaphramatic IVC, first porta hepatis and left renal vein control, caval exclusion, tumor thrombectomy, IVC repair, radical nephrectomy) was performed exclusively robotically with a single position.Results:All 6 robotic procedures were successful, without open conversion or mortality. The mean operative time was 210 min(130-320 min), estimated blood loss was 800 ml(300-2 100 ml) and three patients (5%) received intraoperative blood transfusion. The mean time of occlusion of IVC was 21 min (15-43min). Incomplete blocking occurred in two cases(one IVC, one first porta hepatis), and tumor thrombectomy were completed with intraoperative loss. IVC invasion was confirmed intraoperatively in one patient and we staple-transected the IVC without reconstruction. Six patients were all transferred to the intensive care unit for median of 2.1 days (1-4 days) after surgery. The mean time of postoperative drainage was 5 days (4-9 days). Renal dysfunction occurred in 3 patients and liver dysfunction occurred in 2 patients, and all recovered after medical therapy. Postoperative pathological diagnosis revealed 5 cases of clear cell carcinoma and 1 case of renal sarcoma, and the 5 cases received targeted therapy. With a median follow-up of 27 months (3-54 months), 3 patients were alive, 1 alive with tumor recurrence, and 2 died of cancer.Conclusions:Robot-assisted laparoscopic retrohepatic IVC thrombectomy with a single position have the advantage of simple procedure, shorter operative time, less trauma and quicker recovery, and it is a feasible and effective method for renal tumor patients with retrohepatic IVC thrombus.

OBJECTIVEWe aimed to determine whether blood lipid parameters were related to the severity and the prognosis of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) patients.
METHODSA retrospective cohort study of 258 patients with ISSNHL from December 2013 to February 2015. The distribution characteristics of lipids [total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (Non-HDL-C), et al] in different degree of deafness (mild, moderate, severe, and profound), hearing curve types (low frequency, high frequency, full range frequency, and completely deafness type) and prognosis of recovery (complete, partial, slight, and no recovery) were analyzed by IBM SPSS 22.0 ANOVA analysis, chi square test and multiple regression analysis.
RESULTSTG level in mild hearing loss group was significantly lower than that in severe and profound hearing loss group (P = 0.017 and P = 0.007). There were no correlation between curve types and lipid indexes (P > 0.05). Non-HDL-C level was elevated in no recovery and slight recovery groups (P = 0.026 and 0.021). TC levels in partial recovery group and no recovery group were significantly higher than that in the complete recovery group (P = 0.049 and 0.042), TG was higher in slight recovery group (P = 0.014).
CONCLUSIONSTG has significant correlation with the severity of hearing loss. There are negative correlations between hearing recovery and Non-HDL-C, TC and TG levels. Non-HDL-C, TC and TG might be a prognostic factor for treatment outcome in ISSNHL patients.
