Incarcerated Hernia in 11-mm Nonbladed Trocar Site Following Laparoscopic Appendectomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. CONCLUSION Although rare, trocar-site hernias after laparoscopic surgery with nonbladed trocars remain a cause of postoperative morbidity and require prompt intervention. Therefore, this report underscores the significance of performing meticulous closure of all trocar sites that are 10mm.

An Unusual Trocar Site Hernia after Prostatectomy
Trocar site hernias are rare complications after laparoscopic surgery but most commonly occur at larger trocar sites placed at the umbilicus. With increased utilization of the laparoscopic approach the incidence of trocar site hernia is increasing. We report a case of a trocar site hernia following an otherwise uncomplicated robotic prostatectomy at a 12 mm right lower quadrant port. The vermif...

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 illu...

Background: Trocar-site hernia (TSH) is an uncommon complication following laparoscopic surgery and a potential cause of significant morbidity if bowel incarceration or strangulation occurs. Lateral trocar sites are intrinsically less susceptible to hernia development and traditionally do not mandate fascial closure. We present an unusual case involving an incarcerated TSH from a 12-mm right la...

This paper reports a case of small bowel occlusion due to the herniation of an ileal ansa at the site of the insertion of a 12-mm trocar. A 28-year-old obese female patient underwent laparoscopic surgery for gastric bypass, the skin incisions of the trocar insertion sites were closed with absorbable sutures. Small bowel occlusion occurred on post-operative day 6 and the patient again underwent ...
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.
