Abstract

We report a case of sigmoid colon cancer and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) treated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) followed by laparoscopy-assisted colon resection. A 74-year-old male was treated by EVAR for on AAA that was increasing in size. Gastrointestinal screening done after the aneurysm repair revealed the presence of sigmoid colon cancer. Laparoscopy-assisted sigmoidectomy was done 3 months after AAA treatment. The laparoscopic surgery was not hampered by the presence of the repaired aneurysm. The combination of EVAR and laparoscopy-assisted colectomy is a less invasive approach to treatment than the standard approach.
