Celiac artery compression syndrome: successful utilization of robotic-assisted laparoscopic approach.

چکیده
Median arcuate ligament (MAL) syndrome, also known as the celiac axis compression syndrome (CACS) is rare, and a topic of ongoing academic controversy. CACS is a diagnosis of exclusion, characterized by the clinical triad of postprandial abdominal pain, weight loss, and vomiting. The classic management of CACS involves the surgical division of the MAL fibers. We report successful treatment of a 23-year-old woman with CACS utilizing the da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, California) via robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgical division of the MAL. To our knowledge this is the first report of this modality used in the treatment of the celiac axis compression syndrome.

Introduction: Dunbar syndrome consists in a rare vascular disorder characterized by extrinsic compression of the celiac artery. This mechanic compression results in symptoms related to intermittent mesenteric ischemia. The goal of treatment is to release celiac artery compression and to restore vessel patency. Here we report two cases treated in our Surgical Department over the last four years....
