Laparoscopic Resection of an Unruptured Aneurysm of the Right Gastric Artery

Abstract

We report a case of a 68-year-old female patient with an 8-mm right gastric artery aneurysm. The attempt at endovascular treatment was unsuccessful and therefore the patient underwent laparoscopic surgery for the resection of the unruptured right gastric artery aneurysm. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient is currently under observation as an outpatient. Although endovascular treatment is the first choice for treatment of unruptured right gastric aneurysms, laparoscopic surgery offers advantages such as less invasiveness, anatomical accessibility, and the ability to perform histopathological examination, making it an effective treatment option when endovascular treatment is difficult.
