Laparoscopic surgery capabilities (clinical case)

Laparoscopic interventions after earlier performed open abdominal operations are becoming more common these days. However, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy after an inferior vena cava plication performed from a wide oblique approach in the right hypochondrium is not frequently found. Since the ap- proach to inferior vena cava is carried out by the mobilisation of the duodenum, it causes a massive adhesive process in the area of hepatoduodenal ligament and in the right subhepatic space.This article describes a clinical case of a successful application of laparoscopy capabilities in a patient, who had undergone an inferior vena cava plication for its thrombosis associated with hormonal medication.
