title: [Laparoscopic aortoiliac surgery for occlusive disease and or aneurysms].
abstract: The techniques of video-assisted surgery have been recently applied to aortoiliac surgery. The choices between first the retroperitoneal approach or the transperitoneal approach and the place of video-assisted surgery in relation to totally laparoscopic surgery are at the centre of debates. The aim of this clarification is to relate the evolution of laparoscopic aortoiliac surgery for occlusive disease and aneurysms through a review of the literature on this subject.
