Laparoscopic abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in octogenarians

Abstract: Total laparoscopic AAA repair is a worthwhile but challenging procedure in octogenarians. Laparoscopy is complementary to open surgery and EVAR in this subset. These results encourage us to offer laparoscopic AAA repair in good surgical risk octogenarians.

“…Additionally, robotic-assisted techniques (both endovascular and non-endovascular) may in the future add another dimension to aortic aneurysm repair. [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] Conclusion Laparoscopic repair is feasible in specialist centres for the management of selected patients with AAA, with similar 30-day outcomes to open repair. There are drawbacks in terms of a learning curve, the risk of post-operative haemorrhage and increased operative time.…”
