Abstrakt: This case report highlights the successful application of a robotic-assisted surgical approach in managing Nutcracker syndrome. The patient, a 36-year-old female presented with severe symptoms and underwent robotic left renal vein transposition after failing conservative management. The procedure was performed through a minimally invasive approach utilizing the Da Vinci robotic system™ which offers enhanced visualization and precision. However, challenges arose during the renal vein anastomosis due to tension and poor flow through the transposition, requiring two revisions with a bovine pericardial patch. Ultimately, an 8 mm ringed PTFE bypass was anastomosed from the distal left renal vein to the Inferior Vena Cava. Despite these challenges, the patient experienced a successful outcome with complete symptom resolution of this complicated pathology.
