Abstract |
Renal artery aneurysms (RAA) treatment includes both surgical repair and endovascular techniques, mostly depending on the location of aneurysm. For complex RAA located at renal artery bifurcation or distally, open surgical repair represents the gold standard of treatment. However, the transperitoneal open access to the renal artery requires a wide laparotomy--hence the attempt to be minimally invasive with the first reports of laparoscopic approach. Even if it represents a possibility, laparoscopy has not yet gained widespread acceptance for the technical difficulties in performing vascular anastomosis. We herein describe the repair of a complex RAA using the Da Vinci Surgical System. |
