RESULTS OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSMS WITH RETROPERITONEAL AND TRANSPERITONEAL INCISION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Evaluating the results of surgery to treat infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm through retroperitoneal and transperitoneal incisions. Methods: This is a retrospective study, describing a series of cases conducted at the Department of Thoracic and Vascular Surgery, University Medical Center, Ho Chi Minh city. Results: From January 2015 to March 2023, there were 79 patients divided into two groups: the retroperitoneal surgery group had 26 patients, transperitoneal surgery group had 53 patients. Of which: 60 men, 19 women; Average age 68.6 ± 9.46 (31-86); Average aneurysm diameter in group 1: 5.7 ± 1.2 (4.2-8.8), group 2: 5.4 ± 1.1 (4.0 - 8.8). The location of aortic clamping below the 2 renal arteries accounted for the majority of 66 cases (83.5%). Aortic clamping time 44.4 ± 24.2 (20-210)mins. The mean operation duration 225.2 ± 59.6 (130-390)mins. Postoperative complications: cardiovascular 5 cases (6.3%), respiratory 13 cases (16.5%), acute kidney injury 18 cases (22.7%), gastrointestinal 11 cases (13.9%), Bleeding in 5 cases (6.3%), lower limb arterial embolism in 2 cases (2.5%). There were 2 deaths (2.5%), both in the transperitoneal incision group: 1 case of multi-organ failure and 1 case of respiratory failure due to aspiration pneumonia. Conclusion: The advantage of retroperitoneal approach is shorter aortic clamping time. Both approaches have similar results in terms of operative time, blood loss, hospital stay, early complication rates and mortality.
