Abstract

With the recent development of laparoscopic surgery, complications specific to this surgery have been reported. One of them is port-site hernia, which is the escape of an intraperitoneal organ through the port site. This complication is observed in several percent of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. One of the closure methods involves a closesure system . However, using the original method, we often encounter cases requiring a long closure time. In this study, we report our novel, straightforward method allowing port-site closure in a short time (trocar reinsertion method).
