title: Aneurysm of the right gastroepiploic artery: a case report of laparoscopic resection.
abstract: A traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the right gastroepiploic artery in a 55-year-old woman was resected using laparoscopy. The durations of anaesthesia and operation were 260 and 220 min respectively. Blood loss was minimal. The perioperative period was uneventful; the patient needed no analgesic treatment and ate her first meal on the morning of the day after surgery. She was discharged 5 days later and has progressed well for 5 months since surgery without any abnormal findings.
