title: Renovascular hypertension as a rare complication of laparoscopic extraperitoneal paraaortic lymphadenectomy.
abstract: We describe the case of a 35-year-old woman who presented with renovascular hypertension caused by a compressive hematoma, which was caused by polar artery injury occurred during a laparoscopic extraperitoneal paraaortic lymphadenectomy procedure. To our knowledge, this is the first description of a renovascular disorder associated with this increasingly common procedure. We propose that the occurrence of vascular injury during laparoscopic extraperitoneal paraaortic lymphadenectomy requires an early image control study aimed at monitoring for compressive disorders, which could lead to abnormal renal function.
