Attempted Gastric Band Repair with Intra-operative Hemorrhage - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This exhibit depicts vascular injuries during a laparoscopic procedure. It begins with an orientation figure of an obese male with anatomical structures and sites of trocar placements. The first trocar was introduced through the second incision and vascular injury occurs at this time within the retroperitoneum. The procedure is converted to exploratory laparotomy. Only the left gonadal artery injury was recognized and repaired at this time, other vascular injuries went undetected.
