“…A decision was made to focus on laparoscopically assisted rather than totally laparoscopic repair, in order to keep operating times and difficulty to a minimum. With experience, the proportion of totally laparoscopic repairs will increase, with a reciprocal reduction in the time required for laparoscopic aortic dissection, similar to reports from other laparoscopic vascular surgeons.…”

“…Laparoscopic aortic aneurysm repair (LR) has been pioneered in North America and Europe over the past two decades, but has only recently been developed in the UK. It gained approval from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in 2007, with special arrangements for consent, and for audit or research.…”

“…Four of them met the inclusion criteria and were added to the review, resulting in a total of 66 articles included at last. Due to further exclusion criteria, 50 studies were left out from the quantitative analysis, including six systematic reviews,7–12 25 studies involving <10 patients13–37 and 19 articles either mixing the results from patients suffering from AIOD and AAA, or not separating patient groups receiving tube grafts and aortounifemoral bypass from the patients receiving aortobifemoral bypass 38–56. Hence, 16 articles were deemed eligible for inclusion in Tables 2 and 3, see Figure 1 for details concerning the systematic literature search process for this study.…”

Purpose: This systematic review aims to evaluate the published literature regarding totally laparoscopic aortobifemoral bypass (LABF) surgery in the treatment of aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) or abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), compared with open aortobifemoral bypass surgery. Materials and methods: A systematic review of the medical literature between 1990 and 2016 was performed, searching the medical databases Cochrane Library, OVID Medline, Embase and PubMed. Studies concerning totally LABF with or without control group and containing more than 10 patients were included in the analysis. Operative and aortic cross-clamping times, blood loss, rate of conversion to open surgery, mortality and morbidity within the first 30 postoperative days, hospital stay and primary and secondary patency of the graft were extracted and compared with open surgery when possible. Results: Sixty-six studies were deemed eligible for inclusion in this review, 16 of them matched the inclusion criteria for quantitative synthesis. The patient material consisted of 588 patients undergoing totally LABF, 22 due to AAA, and the remaining 566 for AIOD. Five comparative studies regarding AIOD compared 211 totally LABF procedures with 246 open procedures. Only one study concerning AAA was eligible for inclusion, and this study did not provide a comparison against an open group. The operating and aortic cross-clamping times were shorter in the open group. Conversion rates ranged from 0% to 27%. There was no statistically significant difference in mortality between the two groups (p=0.64). Hospital stays ranged from 4.0 to 12.1 and 5.0 to 12.8 days in the laparoscopic group and open group, respectively. Most of the studies provided low levels of evidence, mainly due to lack of blinding, randomization and correction of bias. Conclusion: Totally laparoscopic aortoiliac surgery seems to be a feasible technique with unaffected mortality and trend toward benefits in hospital stay and possibly also in complication rates. The literature published this far is sparse and with inconsistent results. More randomized controlled trials are required before this method can be widely implemented.

“…It makes the surgeons more capable to perform stent putting or ballooning, by choosing the appropriate stent or balloon [3]. However, because of many surgical limitations, it is not possible during some open vascular surgeries (such as bypass surgery operations for peripheral arteries) to use the same technique [4,5].…”

Application of artificial palpation in vascular surgeries for detection of peripheral arterial stenosis

Palpation is one of the applied methods that surgeons usually use during surgery in order to verify the health condition of a tissue/organ. In fact, most of surgical assessments are based on analysis of the force feedback received from tissue/organ via palpation. Although palpation has a key role in efficient progress of surgery operations, it depends very much on the experience and skill of the surgeons. This limits the application of this technique in some cases to a large extent. In this regard, an artificial tactile sensing approach is an innovative technology that tries to make tactile data more available for surgeons, especially in situations where doing the palpation is not possible or is too difficult. In this paper, having considered the present problems of artery bypass surgery in peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD), applicability of a new tactile sensory system capable of detecting arterial stenosis during surgery was evaluated. Presenting the modelling and numerical solution of the problem, it was demonstrated that the artificial tactile sensing approach is not only capable of detecting the presence of an arterial stenosis in an artery, but also its type. Furthermore, it was shown that the new tactile sensory system (previously designed, fabricated and tested in laboratory) is efficiently capable of detecting the simulated artery in the simulated biological tissue as well as diagnosis of the stenosis occurred inside it.
