There are few reports within the literature demonstrating minimally-invasive techniques for surgical intervention. We previously described the initial case of laparoscopic RAA repair. Herein, we report our experience of minimally-invasive RAA repair in six patients. METHODS Five patients had a complex RAA involving the main renal artery, and one patient had multiple aneurysms. Five patients underwent reconstruction robotically with one patient undergoing a robotic graft repair. RESULTS Median (range) aneurysm size was 2.4 cm (1.8-3.0). Median (range) operative time was 4.0 hours (3.5-6.0) with a median (range) warm ischemia time of 31.0 min (3-32). Median (range) estimated blood loss was 125 (50-400) and no patient required an intra-operative blood transfusion. Median (range) length of hospital stay was 3 days (2-6). At a median (range) follow up of 31.5 months (1-67), all patients report to be doing well with no post-operative complications. CONCLUSIONS Our experience demonstrates that minimally-invasive techniques can be utilized to treat such rare cases as RAA. This study further advances the field. © 2018FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 199Issue 4SApril 2018Page: e662 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2018MetricsAuthor Information Luis Medina More articles by this author Giovanni Cacciamani More articles by this author Andre Abreu More articles by this author Akbar Ashrafi More articles by this author Matthew Winters More articles by this author Sameer Chopra More articles by this author Carlos Fay More articles by this author Karan Gill More articles by this author Hannah Landsberger More articles by this author Rene Sotelo More articles by this author Inderbir Gill More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
