Surgical repair of abdominal aortic or iliac aneurysms associated with treatment of urological neoplasias.
Safe surgical repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm in conjunction both with nephrectomy (for monolateral or bilateral kidney carcinoma) or with radical cystectomy and orthotopic urinary diversion (for bladder carcinoma) can be performed. These combined surgical procedures can be performed without morbidity due to excessive blood loss, increased operative time or vascular graft infection. A nephrectomy associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm repair can be performed both by a median single surgical approach or by a double one during the same intervention. The authors describe and discuss 4 case reports and the techniques required for these combined procedures.
