title: Retropancreatic control of the suprarenal aorta.
abstract: An alternative approach to occluding the suprarenal abdominal aorta involves a Kocher maneuver and isolation of the retropancreatic aorta between the origins of the celiac axis and the superior mesenteric artery. The use of this approach is supported by operative dissections upon cadavers, as well as upon two patients in whom it was used without difficulty.
