A member asked:
During laparoscopic abdominal surgery, there was partial avulsion of the celiac artery (or one its branch arteries). surgery was converted to open and artery was stitched up. no complications just curious, could i have quickly bled out? how serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, serious: The celiac artery and its branches are large vessels in the upper abdomen and damage to them would definitely cause serious and life threatening bleeding. You are fortunate not to have any complications.
