Preliminary experience of laparoscopic renal artery aneurysm clipping surgery.
Developments in endovascular therapy and laparoscopy have led to the expansion of minimally invasive surgical techniques in the treatment of renal artery aneurysm (RAA). In this study, we introduced a new surgical technique that combined the clipping technique widely used in neurosurgery with laparoscopic surgery to clip the aneurysm. RAA clipping was performed by retroperitoneal laparoscopy, and the procedures were completed with no conversions to open surgery. In addition, no perioperative complications were recorded. Our preliminary experience suggests that laparoscopic RAA clipping surgery is feasible and appears to be safe. Laparoscopic RAA clipping surgery has advantages of a simplified surgical process, short warm ischemia time, and excellent cosmetic results.
