A Case of Incisional Hernia at Trocar Site after Laparoscopic Omentopexy for Perforated Duodenal Ulcer

Prevention of Trocar Site Incisional Hernia Following Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Trocar-site incisional hernia following laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is reported to have a relatively high incidence. The main reasons are trocar diameter and design, pre-existing fascial defects, and some operation- and patient-related factors. The aim of this article to show a new technique of ventral hernia repair that could prevent trocar site incisional hern...

Laparoscopic trocar site hernia: a case report and literature review

Laparoscopy-associated complications like trocar site hernia (TSH) have resulted from the increasing use of the technique in surgery. TSH is rare, but a well-established problem. We report a case of a 69 year old female patient with a 12-mm TSH following a right laparoscopic adnexectomy for right ovarian cystic teratoma. Ultrasonography was used to diagnose TSH on the 9th post-operative day. Th...

Incisional hernia at the insertion site of the laparoscopic trocar: case report and review of the literature.

Laparoscopic operations offer a myriad of advantages resulting in a rapid postoperative recovery. Incisional hernia is an uncommon cause of morbidity in operative procedures performed by laparoscopic access, and the diagnosis may not be easily made. In our service we identified 2 patients with incisional hernia the site of trocar insertion. The records of these 2 cases were reviewed. We report ...

Laparoscopic repair of perforated duodenal ulcer.

Laparoscopic closure of an acutely perforated duodenal ulcer is an alternative procedure to open surgery. With proper training and experience this procedure might overtake laparotomy and simple closure thereby reducing the post operative morbidity in terms of reduced wound pain, short hospital stay, likely reduced wound sepsis and hernia occurrence and post operative chest complications. We rep...
