Laparoscopic surgery offers a third option for aortoiliac diseases. Developing specialized laparoscopic aortic instruments is crucial for wider adoption and improved patient outcomes in minimally invasive vascular surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Conventional and endovascular techniques are established treatments for aortoiliac occlusive or aneurysmal diseases.
  • Laparoscopic surgery is emerging as a third therapeutic approach.
  • Current laparoscopic aortic surgery requires specialized instruments to improve efficiency and reduce the learning curve.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current and experimental laparoscopic instruments for aortic reconstruction.
  • To highlight the need for developing specific laparoscopic aortic instruments.
  • To present the PROTOMED society's initiative in creating novel surgical tools.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and current laparoscopic aortic instruments.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Discussion of experimental devices including laparoscopic aortic staplers and robotic systems.
  • Presentation of experience with over 150 laparoscopic aortic reconstructions.

    • Main Results:

    • Several laparoscopic aortic instruments are available, with others in development.
    • PROTOMED is actively involved in conceiving, developing, and testing new instruments.
    • Technological advancements are essential for the widespread adoption of laparoscopic aortic surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Specialized and ergonomic laparoscopic instruments are vital for the vascular surgical community.
    • Further development of in vitro/in vivo testing and training courses is necessary.
    • Minimally invasive techniques, supported by advanced instrumentation, are well-suited for an aging population.
