Breakage of fascial closure device during laparoscopic surgery

چکیده
Breakage of instruments during laparoscopic surgery is rare. However, when it does occur, locating and retrieving the broken part of the instrument can be cumbersome. Moreover, inability to do so may carry serious medicolegal implications. We report a patient in whom the tip of a fascial closure device broke during laparoscopic surgery. This was located by intraoperative fluoroscopy and retrieved from the extraperitoneal plane via a small incision. The paper discusses the probable factors responsible for breakage of the fascial closure device in our patient and reviews the previously reported cases of the rare complication of breakage of instruments during laparoscopic surgery.

متن کاملTrocar site hernias from using bladeless trocars: should fascial closure be performed?
Laparoscopic surgery is the modality of choice in the surgical treatment of colorectal malignancies. The reported incidence of trocar site hernias is 0.65-2.80% with conventional cutting-tip trocars, and this risk increases with the diameter of the trocar. Newer bladeless, blunt-tipped trocars effectively mitigate this risk, and routine fascial closure has been generally deemed unnecessary. We ...
