Klokocovnik, Tomislav

RESUMO

This prospective study was designed to establish the feasibility of minilaparotomy for aortobifemoral bypass, and its effect on intraoperative and postoperative variables. A minilaparotomy has potential benefits for the patient, including smaller size of the surgical wound, reduced risk of infection, shorter postoperative intubation, decreased postoperative pain, earlier discharge, and a smaller, aesthetically more acceptable postoperative scar. Moreover, reoperation is less hazardous, because the peritoneum is not completely dissected.
