Port Site Metastasis after Surgery for Renal Cell Carcinoma: Harbinger of Future Metastasis

Abstract: Port site metastasis after minimally invasive surgery for renal cell carcinoma is a rare occurrence with a poor prognosis. In most cases port site metastasis is not an isolated metastasis but instead is a harbinger of progressive disease. While technical factors can have a role in port site metastasis formation, it appears that biological factors like high tumor grade also contribute.

“…Recently, Song et al . reported port site metastasis in a total of 16 cases [12]. Our case was initially diagnosed as pT1a, G1 > G2 clear cell renal cell carcinoma and carried quite a low risk compared to the previous report.…”

“…The presented study included several recently published trials and also excluded some studies with both EGC and AGC patients, which enlarged the case pool and eliminated confounding bias at the same time. Port-site metastasis is proposed to be one disadvantage of laparoscopic surgery and could occur in different kinds of malignant cancers [114]; moreover, portsite metastasis might indicate a harbinger of progressive disease [115]. Although it occurred rarely in LG for EGCs, the incidence of port-site metastasis after LG in AGCs is largely unknown [116].…”

“…However, previous studies showed decreased number of harvested lymph nodes for gastric patients during LG compared with OG [12,13]. Besides, like all the laparoscopic procedure, port site metastases and seeding during LG were inevitable because of intra-abdominal hyperpressure and adherence of laparoscopic instrument [14][15][16][17]. What is more, though there are some studies comparing the secondary outcomes between the LG and OG groups, lack of long-term oncological outcomes such as recurrence and mortality hinders its full support as a valid procedure [18][19][20].…”
