Intraoperative Vascular Injury with Attempted Surgical Repair - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This full color stock medical exhibit illustrates an intraoperative left external iliac vein pucture during an abdominal laparoscopy and the subsequent open laparotomy procedure required to repair the injury. An anterior image of the female abdomen demonstrates placement of laparoscope through an umbilibal port and the insertion of a trocar in the left lower quadrant. A sagittal drawing of the female torso depicts the trocar puncturing the left external iliac vein. For the open surgical repair, a large midline incision from the xiphoid down to the pubic area is shown. An enlarged sagittal view of the left external iliac vein already clamped and being sutured is included.
