Minimally invasive surgical procedures have become popular recently because they offer several advantages over conventional operative techniques. A person undergoing a minimally invasive procedure usually experiences less pain, is discharged earlier from hospital, returns to work sooner and has a less obtrusive post-operative scar. Excluding highly technical techniques (e.g. laparoscopic surgery), operations performed using mini-laparotomy are usually more cost-effective than conventional procedures, largely because they are less expensive to perform. Our paper investigates cost-effectiveness and other parameters relating to minimally invasive aortofemoral revascularization procedures performed at our clinic. We compared 20 similar cases, half where revascularization was undertaken using mini-laparotomy and half where conventional laparotomy was selected. From our findings we conclude that mini-laparotomy is safe and reliable for aortobifemoral bypass procedures and has several advantages over traditional techniques; namely, shorter operating time, earlier resumption of intestinal function, shorter duration of in-patient stay and reduced costs.
