[Videoscopic abdominal aortic aneurysm repair]

Videoscopic abdominal aortic aneurysm repair is a mini-invasive technique With the current controversies surrounding the long-term results and cost of aortic stentgrafts, videoscopy offers permanent repair of aortic aneurysms while avoiding the abdominal complications of conventional open surgery. In our experience, videoscopy provides short- and mid-term outcomes similar to those of conventional open repair in terms of safety, reliability and durability. However, this is a challenging technique and we must underscore the importance of the learning curve and of previous training in laparoscopic suture.
