title: Iliac artery pseudoaneurysm as a complication of laparoscopic rectopexy.
abstract: The occurrence of arterial pseudoaneurysms after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the right hepatic artery, common hepatic artery, and cystic artery has been well documented. We describe a case of pseudoaneurysm of the common iliac artery presenting after laparoscopic stapled mesh rectopexy. As the benefits of minimal access surgery are extended to more and more procedures, surgeons should recognize the possibility of such a complication.
