Port-site hernia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: retrospective clinical experience
Öz
Purpose: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard in patients scheduled for cholecystectomy. Complications related to laparoscopy may occur during or after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This study is aimed to examine the incidence of port-site hernia and its predisposing factors.
Materials and methods: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations performed in the general surgery clinic of our hospital between January 2016 and March 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. The pneumoperitoneum was created by entering the abdomen with a mini-incision from the umbilicus using the Hasson technique. All cholecystectomies were performed using the 4-port technique. The umbilical trocar fascia was closed in all patients. Demographic data were evaluated retrospectively.
Result: The incidence of port-site hernia was determined as 0.5%. The umbilical hernia was detected in 15 patients: 11 male and four female. The mean age was 55.4 years. The mean hernia detection time was 14.3 months. The mean body mass index [BMI] was found to be 30.11. Four patients had a chronic disease. Fourteen of the patients underwent surgery. One of the patients was operated on a mini-incision urgently due to the development of strangulation. Recurrence was detected in three patients. No mortality was observed.
Conclusion: Obesity, age, and female gender are considered important risk factors. In our series, fascial closure was performed instead of the umbilical port in all cases, but most of the port site hernias originate from the umbilicus port.
