EARLY INCISIONAL HERNIA AFTER USE OF THE 12 MM PORT FOR LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY

Paul John McMurrick, Adrian L. Polglase

Open publisher page 37 citations

Abstract

This paper reports the complication of early incisional hernia occurring in three patients at the site of entry of a 12 mm disposable port during laparoscopic surgery. To avoid this complication, it is recommended that a 12 mm port be introduced through muscle rather than fascia and, following its removal, the defect in the abdominal wall be closed by sutures.
