Laparoscopic repositioning of a dislocated pacemaker into the rectovesical pouch.
Dislocation of the epicardial pacemaker into the peritoneal cavity is an uncommon but potentially life‐threatening complication. We report a case of a 74 year old with an abdominally implanted epicardial pacemaker that migrated through the peritoneum to the excavatio rectovesicalis. The laparoscopic...

We report a case of a 74 year old with an abdominally implanted epicardial pacemaker that migrated through the peritoneum to the excavatio rectovesicalis. The laparoscopic approach was chosen because of the increased risks of perioperative morbidity and decreased survival. The generator was implanted into a pocket beneath the anterior rectus sheath and the lead was peritonalized with a running suture. In conclusion, a laparoscopic retrieval is feasible and safe in the treatment of a displaced pacemaker in the rectovesical pouch. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: case study diagnostic images pictorial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
