[Comparative results of standard and mini-invasive approaches at aorto-bifemoral grafting]

Technical features and results of aorto-bifemoral grafting from complete median laparotomy (20 patients) and median mini-laparotomy (20 patients) were compared in randomized study. Time of operation, stay in postoperative room, intraoperative bloodless, time of rehabilitation were less in mini-laparotomy group. Technical results at both groups were identical. General efficacy evaluated as sum of tested parameters (including subjective scale of health state) was also statistically higher at this group.
