Retroperitoneal endoscopic adrenalectomy is being increasingly utilized for small to moderate size adrenal tumors. This technique requires a thorough understanding of the retroperitoneal anatomy due to the posterior approach and different anatomic orientation. The video demonstrates the technique for retroperitoneal endoscopic left adrenalectomy with a focus on these challenges.
Mycotic superior mesenteric artery aneurysms are extremely rare. Mycotic aneurysms represent approximately 50% of all superior mesenteric artery aneurysms (SMAAs). The majority of mycotic SMAAs are associated with recent infective endocarditis. Patients may present with fever, significant and progressive abdominal pain, and a pulsatile abdominal mass. Untreated mycotic aneurysms have a reported mortality rate of up to 67%, usually due to rupture. No prior published reports of laparoscopic resect
