Exposure of subclavian Exposure of subclavian arteryartery
An incision is made lateralto the insertion of SCM.
The platysma and faciaare dissected to revealthe omohyoid m, lymph
nodes and fat. The lymphnodes and fat should be
displaced upwards.
The phrenic nwill be seen beneaththe deep facia overlyingthe anterior SM whichcan be felt as a band passingdownward and medially.
The brachial plexus willbe seen or felt laterally .
A curved blunt instrument isPassed behind the ant SM.
The anterior SMis divided carefullyprotecting the phrenic nerve which is best
performed by passing a sling around it.
Division of the ant Division of the ant SM reveals the SM reveals the subclavian artery subclavian artery and its and its suprascapular suprascapular and internal and internal mammary mammary branches. The branches. The vertebral artery vertebral artery can also be seen can also be seen mediallymedially..
Exposure of the distal subclavian and Exposure of the distal subclavian and proximal axillary arteryproximal axillary artery
The subclavian artery should be exposed as aleardy
described, the incision being taken across the
clavicle. This can be dividedas shown.

Exposure of axillary arteryExposure of axillary artery
The middle part of theaxillary artery is exposed by
making an incision below the middle third of the
clavicle .
The skin and deep facia areincised and branches of the
acromioclavicular a can be seen coming through the
clavipectoral facia. The pectoralismajor m lies above and below
these branches.
The muscle fibers of the PMM are divided after tying off the
branches of the acromioclavicularartery. The axillary a can be felt in the depth of the wound and exposed by sharp dissection.One or two branches need to
be tied to expose it fully.
For more distal exposurethe pectoralis minor min the lateral part of the
wound needs to be dividedcompletely. Retraction is required
to access the artery.

Exposure of brachial arteryExposure of brachial artery
This can be exposedthrought the upper arm by an incision
placed along its medialborder just behind the
biceps muscle.
After incising the skin and deepfacia the biceps muscle is retacted
anteriorly and the triceps posteriorly.The median nerve can be seen lying
superiorly to the brachial artery.
Further dissection will revealthe brachial vein which can
be retracted posteriorly to expose the ulnar nerve.
For exposureof the
bifurcationof the
brachial arteryan S-shaped
incision shouldbe made in the
antecubitalfossa.
After division of theAfter division of the bicipital apponeurosisbicipital apponeurosisthe brachial artery and the brachial artery and
its bifurcation into the its bifurcation into the radial and ulnar arteries radial and ulnar arteries will be seen where they will be seen where they
pass between the pass between the brachioradialis and flexor brachioradialis and flexor muscles. The median n muscles. The median n

Exposure of ulnar and radial arteriesExposure of ulnar and radial arteries..
The incisions are made
onthe anterior surface of
the forearm.
By dissection between the
brachioradialis mmedially and the
flexor carpi radialism laterally the radial
artery will be exposed along with
its associatedveins.
By dissectionof thepronator teresand brachioradialis m laterallyand the flexordigitorumsublimis mmedially theulnar arterywill be seen.
For exposureof the ulnarand radial arteryat the wrist theincisions shouldbe made asindicated.
The radial
artery isvery
superficialand
can be palpated
andexposed
easily.
The ulnarartery is alittle deeperbut again isrelativelysuperficialand can beexposed before it entersthe deepaspect ofthehypothenarmuscle.
Exposure of the ascending Exposure of the ascending aorta and arch branchesaorta and arch branches
Various incisions are madeto expose the AA and its
branches in the neck. The mostcommonly used is a vertical incision.
@A vertical incisionfrom suprasternalnotch to
xiphisternum.
@an electrical saw can be used.
@or a longRobert's clampand a Gigli saware used to dividethe sternum.
@after the sternumhas been divided it is
held apart by self-retainingretracter.
@the brachiocephalic v willbe seen and should be retracteddownwards to expose the aorticarch and the roots of the major
vessels.
@In order to expose thebranches of the aortic arch
in the neck a transverse limbis added to the vertical incision.
@By division of the SCMand anterior SM, the subclavianart can be seen and the phrenicN protected. This allows various
types of graft to be inserted between the AA & its branches
in the neck.
Exposure of the descending Exposure of the descending thoracic aortathoracic aorta
This is exposed throughan incision in the 5th or 8th inter-costal space ,
depending upon whichlevel is to be exposed .
The thoracic cavity is enteredby removing the rib and the lung
displaced forwards. The descendingaorta will be seen posteriorly.
Exposure of the lower thoracic and upper Exposure of the lower thoracic and upper abdominal aortaabdominal aorta
A midline incision is made in the abdomen with an extension throughthe costal margin along the 7th rib
for exposure of lower thoracic aortaand the 5th for exposure of the
upper thoracic aorta.
The rectus muscle and costalmargin are divided to allow exposure of the pleura which is then opened.
The diaphragm can be dividedeither transversely close to the
costal margin which avoids damageto the phrenic n, or vertically whichdamages the phrenic n but gives
much better exposure.
After division of the diaphragmthe thoracic aorta, liver, abdominal
contents and spleen can be seen.
An incision is made inthe peritoneum along
the lateral border of thespleen and colon.
The colon, spleen and pancreas aremobilized to the right which exposes
the AA and its main branches; the coeliacaxis, the SMA and the renal vessels.
The left renal vein can be seen crossing the AA.
Exposure of AA and its Exposure of AA and its branchesbranches

SMA
The peritoneum on the left side of theDJ flexure is incised carefully and the
bowel pushed to the right. This will expose the aorta.
Exposure of SMA Exposure of Exposure of SMA Exposure of AAAA
Alternatively a transverseabdominal incision can be used
with the same incision in theperitoneum close to the DJ flexure
in order to expose the aorta.
For retroperitoneal exposure theabdominal muscles are divided
and the peritoneum displaced toright. This will expose the aorta
and the Kidney.
Exposure of coeliac axisExposure of coeliac axis
The coeliac axisis exposed after
opening the abdomenthrough
a transverseor vertical
incision and openingthe lesser omentum.
After openingthe lesser sac,
the aorta is feltwhere the crura
cross it.
The crura aredivided to
expose the aortaand just above
the stomach, theorigin of thecoeliac axiswill be seen.
Exposure of splenic arteryExposure of splenic artery
The splenic artery is exposedby dividing the greater omentum
along the lower border of thestomach and displacing the
organ medially.
The artery will be seen runningalong the upper part of the
pancreas.
Exposure of SMA originExposure of SMA origin
An incision in theperitoneum lateral
to the colon and spleen.
The spleen, pancreas and stomachare mobilized to the right exposingthe kidney, the aorta and its major
branches and the renal veins. The originsof the coeliac axis and SMA and other branches
can be accessed in this way.

To expose the iliac artery and vein the muscles are divided
and the peritoneum mobilizedmedially, taking care to avoid the ureter which crosses theBifurcation of the common
Iliac artery.
INTERNALILIAC
ARTERY
In order to expose this vessel, the common and external iliac arteriesare encircled with slings and pulled
laterally. This allows exposure of theorigin of the internal iliac artery which
can be dissected free with scissors.
Exposure of the IVCExposure of the IVC
The IVC is exposed by opening the patient's abdomen through a transverseor vertical incision, incising the peritoneum lateral to the duodenal loop
and ascending colondisplacing these structures medially to expose the entire vena
cava retroperitoneally.

muscle and aremuscle and are
surprisingly surprisingly superficialsuperficial..
For exposure of the aboveknee popliteal artery an
incision is made in the lowermedial part of the thigh along
the anterior border of thesartorius muscle.
The incision is deepened until the long saphenous vein can be seen
and should be protected. An incision ismade in the deep facia behind the vein
and the sartorius muscle retracted posteriorly.
Above knee popliteal arteryAbove knee popliteal artery
Using finger dissection the popliteal artery is felt in the
popliteal fossa lying anteriorlymedial to the vein.
Appropriate retractionallows a sling to be passedaround it to provide access.
The below knee popliteal arteryThe below knee popliteal artery
The below knee poplitealartery is exposed by usingan incision just behind thetibia, passing backwardsand slightly near to the
knee joint.
An incision is madein the deep faciaanterior to the
gastrocnemius muscle.
The gastrocnemius muscleis retracted posteriorly andthe soleus muscle can be
seen attached to the tibia. Thevessels passing behind it can be
felt above the popliteal fossa .
By dividing the tendon of thesoleus muscle where it is attachedto the tibia, the artery and vein can
be followed downwards. The artery in particular is crossed by
many small venous brancheswhich require careful ligation.
Exposure of Exposure of long long
saphenous saphenous veinvein
In order to In order to remove the long remove the long saphenous vein saphenous vein
multiple incisions multiple incisions are made along are made along the vein exposedthe vein exposed..
It is then removed byundermining the skin
bridges. The upper endof the vein can be found
first where it joins thesapheno-femoral junction from
where it can be traced by duplex ultrasonography and
marked before surgery.
The vein is then removedthrough a continuous
incision. This is probablybetter as it does less damage to the vein.
Exposure of the Exposure of the crural vesselscrural vessels
The posterior tibial The posterior tibial and peroneal and peroneal arteries are arteries are
exposed by further exposed by further detachment of the detachment of the soleus muscle from soleus muscle from the tibia until the the tibia until the peroneal artery peroneal artery
