Management Of Intra-Operative Vascular Injuries

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video covers managing vascular complications in minimally invasive surgery, emphasizing prevention through proper anatomy knowledge, surgical technique, and exposure. Most vascular injuries occur during abdominal entry, with a significant mortality risk from uncontrolled bleeding. The speaker advises holding pressure on bleeding sites, using tools like suture passers, Foley balloons, laparotie clips, and vascular clamps to control hemorrhage. Minimally invasive repair is preferred, but rapid recognition and readiness to convert to open surgery are critical. The importance of team coordination, emergency protocols, and surgeon leadership during vascular emergencies is stressed. Mistakes are inevitable but manageable with honesty and continuous learning.
