Laparoscopic Resection of a Diaphragmatic Phrenic Neurilemmoma Compressing the Suprahepatic Inferior Vena Cava Following Thoracoscopic Exploration: A Case Report
Laparoscopic resection of diaphragmatic phrenic neurilemmoma compressing the suprahepatic IVC can be safe and feasible when combined with careful intraoperative assessment. Thoracoscopic evaluation and preparation for potential vascular involvement are crucial to guide safe resection and manage possible adhesion or invasion.
