PURPOSE: To describe our technique and one year clinical experience with laparoscopic hand-assisted abdominal aortic surgery for @entity432 . @entity1 AND METHODS: Between June 2001 and May 2002, 13 @entity1 underwent a laparoscopic hand-assisted abdominal aortic operation. RESULTS: The median operating time and aortic cross-clamp time were 230 and 29 minutes respectively. The median intra-operative @entity190 was 625cc. There were no peri-operative (30 day) @entity204 . The conversion to open surgery ratio was 1/13. One major @entity455 occurred. Median hospital stay was 6 days (range 4-42 days). CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic hand-assisted abdominal aortic surgery for @entity432 is technically feasible and safe. The use of this laparoscopic technique combines the advantage of minimally invasive surgery and the reliability of an established open procedure without the risk of @entity1070 in @entity439 surgery.
