[Technical features of aneurysm resection and abdominal aorta reconstruction from mini-approach]

Experience of surgical treatment of infrarenal aortic aneurysm from mini-approach at 42 patients is analyzed. Techniques of mini-invasive surgery, tactical aspects are described. Peri- and postoperative data at study group were compared with ones at control group consisted of 42 patients who underwent reconstructive operation on abdominal aorta with traditional median laparotomy. The operation time, volume of intravenous infusion, time of pulmonary ventilation, stay at intensive care department and postoperative enteroparesis were significantly less at the patients of study group. Mini-invasive techniques don't increase complexity of operation, and can be performed by surgeons without special training.
