Following the endovascular revolution in aneurysm repair, open surgery
remains suitable for only a subsection of patients. These operations are
becoming increasingly technically difficult and access to training is
often limited. This book explains the retroperitoneal (totally
extraperitoneal) technique for repairing abdominal and thoracoabdominal
aneurysms. It summarises all the evidence to date and compares this with
traditional transpirational aortic surgery.
