PARAORTIC LYMPH NODE 400-450 are the lymph nodes of a normal adult body >250 of them are located in the abdomen and pelvis About 81 lymph nodes are distributed between: the pelvis (50) the aortic area (31) Node Group Mediam Range Paracaval 4 2-10 Precaval 4 2-8 Retrocaval 4 2-16 Intercavoaortic superficial 6 2-12 Intercavoaortic deep 4 2-8 Preaortic 3 2-5 Paraaortic 5 2-10 Retroaortic 4 2-8 Benedetti-Panici, 1992

ANATOMY OF THE INFERIOR VENA CAVA, THE COMMON ILLIAC C. Alboni,2005 Jason, et al
LUMBAR VEIN ANOMALIES C. Alboni,2005 Lumbar vein entering in left gonadal vein Lumbar and gonadal vein entering in left renal vein at same point Lumbar vein entering in left renal vein from posterior wall Lumbar vein entering in left renal vein from anterior wall
VENTRAL TRIBUTARIES OF INFRARENAL VENA CAVA NO tributaries in 21.5% of patients In patient WITH tributaries: 3 + 2 in level 1 1.86 + 1.06 in level 2 0.009 + 0.009 in level 3 Possover M, Am J Obstet Gynecol 1998
In 58% of patients examined in our series tributaries flow into the inferior vena cava in level 1 with an average of 3 + 2 vessels. Concomitantly, the surgeon finds other tributaries in level 2 in 9.8% of patients. If no tributaries are in level 1, tributaries in level 2 occur in approximately 10% of patients.

VASCULAR ANOMALIES Incidence % Sample General population Left-sides IVC 3.6 0.17 Retro-aortic left renal vein 3.24 0.75 Right gonadal draining to right renal vein 0.77 1.33 Left gonadal draining to IVC 0.68 0.66 Pre-caval right renal artery 1.44 0.80 Benedetti Panici, 1994
OVARIAN VEIN ANOMALIES Sometimes (1,3%) right ovarian vein can join renal vein. C. Alboni,2005 Benedetti Panici, 1994
OVARIAN VEIN ANOMALIES Ovarian vein in quite rare number of patients (0,3%), could enter in cava above the level of renal vessels. C. Alboni,2005 Benedetti Panici, 1994
RENAL VEIN ANOMALIES Circum-aortic renal vein. C. Alboni,2005
RENAL ARTERY ANOMALIES A right renal lower polar artery could be observed in around 2% of patient. Usually it crosses caval vein frontally. This anomalous vessel can be ligated with no postoperative sequelae if accidentally damaged during surgery. C. Alboni,2005
POST-CHEMOTHERAPY LYMPH NODE DISSECTION: MORBILITY A subadventitial plane of dissection can be obtained leading to devastating consequences Control of the proximal and distal aorta should be obtained before resecting new or residual aortic masses Chylous ascites may develop postoperatively Higher percentage of ascites if repeated dissection of the retroperitoneal space Perioperative mortality is 0.8% to 1% for post-chemotherapy lymph node dissection Perioperative mortality is 0% to 10% for repeated retroperitoneal lymph node dissection Sexton WJ, The Journal of Urology 2003
