title: Laparoscopic control of a leaking inferior mesenteric vessel secondary to trocar injury.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Vascular injury is the most urgent type of trauma at laparoscopy. It is thought that the rate of vascular injury may increase as the complexity of laparoscopic surgery increases. To our knowledge, this is the first report of laparoscopic management of a leaking inferior mesenteric artery caused by trauma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Successful laparoscopic management of a leaking inferior mesenteric artery secondary to trocar insertion.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Laparoscopic management of a vascular injury in a hemodynamically stable patient is possible.
