Three trocars laparoscopic abdominal aortic aneurysm repair

Abstract

Total laparoscopic abdominal aortic aneurysm resection with tube graft interposition was performed in a 53-year-old woman diagnosed with an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. The operation was accomplished by a method using three trocars. The operation took 240 minutes. Blood loss was 600 mL. No complications occurred in 13 months of postoperative follow-up. These results show that total laparoscopic abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with three trocars is feasible and worthwhile.
