Laparoscopic treatment of median arcuate ligament syndrome without ganglionectomy of the celiac plexus in the hybrid operating room: Report of a case

Abstract

Highlights The treatment of median arcuate ligament syndrome is the surgical release of the ligament. Symptomatic patients need the ligament release with wide excision of the celiac plexus. However, the majority of the patients with celiac artery compression remains asymptomatic. It might be enough to just release the ligament without ganglionectomy for asymptomatic patients. Hybrid operating room could allow for adequate ligament release without ganglionectomy.
