Abstract
Vascular injury is one of the major complications of laparoscopic surg ery. Prompt diagnosis is crucial for proper management of this potenti ally Life-threatening complication. Two cases of iliac artery puncture occurred during operative laparoscopy. The injuries were not diagnose d immediately, probably due to the initial accumulation of blood in th e retroperitoneum. Significant damage to large blood vessels may not b e readily apparent during laparoscopic surgery.
