Cavoscopy in the surgical treatment of renal cell carcinoma with vena cava thrombus. Systematic review.
CONCLUSION: Cavoscopy is a technique that improves detection of tumor remnants after thrombectomy in comparison to indirect review methods. Although oncological impact of caval thrombus is controversial, the use of cavoscopy allows a more complete resection of the thrombus, and it may offer a possible increase in the recurrence-free survival of these patients.
