    Area of Science:

    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Surgical Complications
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Complications during laparoscopy often occur during pneumoperitoneum induction.
    • Potential risks include emphysema, embolism, pneumocolon, and inadvertent vessel injury.

    Observation:

    • A case of mesenteric artery perforation and hematoma occurred during laparoscopy for tubal sterilization.
    • The injury was linked to a Meckel's cord attaching the ileum to the umbilicus.

    Findings:

    • The insufflating needle inadvertently entered a mesenteric artery, causing significant bleeding.
    • Anatomic anomaly (Meckel's cord) contributed to the unusual complication.

    Implications:

    • This rare event highlights the importance of awareness regarding potential vascular injuries during laparoscopy.
    • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention (laparotomy, ileal resection) were necessary.
    • Understanding patient anatomy is crucial for preventing severe laparoscopic complications.
