Postoperative Bowel Herniation in a 5-mm Nonbladed Trocar Site
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Incisional hernias are a rare complication of laparoscopic surgery, with a reported incidence of <1%. CASE REPORT We describe a case of bowel herniation and strangulation involving a 5-mm trocar site. CONCLUSION Although there is growing literature supporting fascial closure of abdominal port sizes ≥ 10 mm, there is sparse data to suggest closure of 5-mm port sites. Our case illustrates that in appropriate clinical scenarios, the possibility of a strangulated hernia involving a 5-mm port site warrants consideration.

5-Millimeter Trocar-Site Bowel Herniation Following Laparoscopic Surgery
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This is a case report of a 5-mm trocar-site large bowel herniation following laparoscopic tubal sterilization. During laparoscopic sterilization, the 5-mm port site was closed initially. Large bowel herniation was recognized at the end of the case and managed immediately by laparoscopically reducing the hernia and closing the port site without any short- or long-term c...
متن کاملIncarcerated Hernia in 11-mm Nonbladed Trocar Site Following Laparoscopic Appendectomy
BACKGROUND Nonbladed trocars are considered less traumatic to the abdominal wall due to the lack of fascial incision. It has been suggested that closure of the abdominal fascia may be unnecessary when such nonbladed trocars are used. CASE REPORT We report on 2 patients who were diagnosed with trocar-site hernias 2 days after laparoscopic appendectomy performed using 11-mm nonbladed trocars. ...
متن کاملLeft Transperitoneal Adrenalectomy with a Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery Combined Technique: Initial Case Reports
Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) is a step toward the development of minimally invasive surgery. It is initially difficult for surgeons with limited experience to perform the surgery. We describe two cases of left adrenalectomy with a LESS combined with the addition of an accessory port. After a 2.5-cm skin incision was made at the level of the paraumbilicus to insert the primary 12-...
متن کاملIncarcerated Trocar Site Herniation of the Small Bowel following Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Small bowel herniation through the fascial defect created by the entry of trocars is one of the major complications of the laparoscopic surgery. In this paper, we describe a 42-year-old woman developing an incarcerated trocar site herniation of the small bowel following laparoscopic myomectomy and treated by laparoscopic approach.
