“…Details of different surgical techniques have been described elsewhere [1,3,5,8,10,11,18]. After performance of the initial transabdominal approach with the ''apron'' technique [10] and a retroperitoneal approach [18], we preferred the transabdominal approach with extreme patient-rotation as described by Coggia et al [5].…”

Background: Recently introduced robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) facilitates endoscopic surgical manipulation and thereby reduces the learning curve for (advanced) laparoscopic surgery. We present our learning curve with RALS for aortobifemoral bypass grafting as a treatment for aortoiliac occlusive disease. Methods: Between February 2002 and May 2005, 17 patients were treated in our institution with robot-assisted laparoscopic aorto-bifemoral bypasses. Dissection was performed laparoscopically and the robot was used to make the aortic anastomosis. Operative time, clamping time, and anastomosis time, as well as blood loss and hospital stay, were used as parameters to evaluate the results and to compare the first eight (group 1) and the last nine patients (group2). Results: Total median operative, clamping, and anastomosis times were 365 min (range: 225-589 min), 86 min (range: 25-205 min), and 41 min (range: 22-110 min), respectively. Total median blood loss was 1,000 ml (range: 100-5,800 ml). Median hospital stay was 4 days (range: 3-57 days). In this series 16/18 anastomoses were completed with the use of the robotic system. Three patients were converted (two in group 1, one in group 2), and one patient died postoperatively (group 1). Median clamping and anastomosis times were significantly different between groups 1 and 2 (111 min Conclusions: Robot-assisted aortic anastomosis was shown to have a steep learning curve with considerable reduction of clamping and anastomosis times. However, due to a longer learning curve for laparoscopic dissection of the abdominal aorta, operation times were not significantly shortened. Even with robotic assistance, laparoscopic aortoiliac surgery remains a complex procedure.

“…A small group of pioneers have shown it to be a feasible technique for both the treatment of aortoiliac occlusive disease as for aneurysm repair [1,3,5,8,11]. However, vascular surgeons seem reluctant to introduce it into their everyday practice.…”

“…"Secondary banding" is the term used for banding in complications solution. Laparoscopic banding creation is an alternative, but pneumoperitoneum induced by insuflation puts more stress on the patient than a small open access 15 . In cases of a short neck, a fenestrated graft should be an acceptable alternative at present 16 .…”

“…Dion et al pioneered towards the first total laparoscopic approach of the aortoiliac tract in 1993, by performing a laparoscopy assisted aortobifemoral bypass (Dion et al, 1993). Several open minded surgeons followed into his footsteps and several techniques for a total laparoscopic approach of aortoiliac disease were developed (Ahn et al, 1997;Alimi et al, 2000;Kolvenbach et al, 2001;Coggia et al, 2002). One-and-a-half decade later minimally invasive surgery of the aortoiliac vessels is performed only in a few centers around the globe.…”

“…The most demanding parts of the total laparoscopic approach for aortoiliac disease are the creation of sufficient and stable exposure, and suturing of the aortic anastomosis. Various techniques are described to approach the abdominal aorta, such as a retro-peritoneal approach, use of the "apron" technique (a peritoneal 'flap' which is used to suspend the bowel), or a total transabdominal approach with extreme lateral rotation of the patient (Ahn et al, 1997;Alimi et al, 2000;Wisselink et al, 2000;Kolvenbach et al, 2001;Coggia et al, 2002;Dion et al, 2003). Creation of the anastomosis requires a lot of skill, exercise and dexterity.…”

Robotic systems have been used to overcome the technical difficulties in laparoscopic aortoiliac surgery. In this chapter the outcomes of clinical and experimental studies using a robotic surgical system for treatment of aortoiliac disease are reviewed. MethodsA computerized search was conducted in the medical databases Medline (from January 2000 to July 2007), Embase (from January 2000 to July 2007) and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Operative times, ICU-stay, clamping time, blood loss, anastomosis time, time to resume to solids, hospital stay, mortality and conversion rates were described. Experimental studies reporting on the creation of an aortic anastomosis with the robotic system were included. ResultsExperimental studies on vascular anastomoses showed equal results when compared to laparoscopy using the Zeus system, whereas the da Vinci robot showed better anastomosistimes and more precise anastomoses when compared to laparoscopic surgery. Five clinical studies were identified, with in total 70 patients. Operative time varied from 188 to 480 minutes, anastomosis time was 27 to 40.8 minutes. Total hospital stay differed between 4 and 7.3 days. An overall conversion rate of 7 (10%) was reported.

Abdominal Aortic Laparoscopic Surgery: Retroperitoneal or Transperitoneal Approach?

Abstract: this preliminary study shows the feasibility of LAOR through both approaches. In Group II, a better exposure of the right aortic wall and of the right iliac axis was noted and division of the inferior mesenteric artery was not always necessary.
