Laparoscopic repair of iatrogenic celiac artery injury during median arcuate ligament release: A retrospection and tips at troubleshooting.
Journal of Minimal Access Surgery 2024 January 10
Median arcuate ligament (MAL) syndrome or celiac artery (CA) compression syndrome previously treated mainly by vascular surgeons using the open approach is now being increasingly performed by general surgeons with training in advanced laparoscopy. Although this approach has all the advantages of minimal access surgery, the procedure is fraught with serious complications like injury to major vascular structures during dissection. Vascular injury by far is the major cause of conversion to open procedure. Herein, we report a laparoscopic repair of iatrogenic CA injury by intra-corporeal suturing during MAL release. We also elaborate the causes, the preventive measures that can be applied to avoid such catastrophic occurrences in future. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a laparoscopic repair of CA bleed during MAL release.
