Figure 1 Intraoperative photographs showing vascular isolation. (A) The proximal left renal vein (LRV) was isolated from the inferior vena cava (IVC) after Kocher maneuver. The LRV was ligated at the vessel-loop encircled site with a synthetic umbilical tape. (B) The proximal LRV was isolated with individual encircling of the spontaneous splenorenal shunt (SSRS) and left gonadal vein (LGV).
