Traumatic Perforation of a Pacemaker Generator into the Abdominal Cavity

We report a case of a pacemaker generator of an epicardial system migrated into the abdominal cavity due to a traffic accident and its subsequent retrieval with a laparoscopic technique in an adult patient. The retrieval of the dislocated pacemaker proceeded without any incident. The pacemaker generator was placed in a parasternal subpectoral pocket on the left chest wall, which makes another perforation highly impossible.
