Single-port laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair is a safe and feasible technique. This minimally invasive approach shows promise for reduced recurrence rates in umbilical hernia repair.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Abdominal wall reconstruction
  • Laparoscopic surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic technique offers an alternative to open ventral hernia repair.
  • Evaluating the feasibility of a single 5-mm trocar for umbilical hernia repair.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the safety and efficacy of a single 5-mm trocar laparoscopic technique for umbilical hernia repair.

Main Methods:

  • 16 patients underwent laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair using a single 5-mm port.
  • A second 5-mm port was used only for incarcerated omentum reduction.
  • Transabdominal closure of defects was performed using nonabsorbable suture via a 2-mm incision.

Main Results:

  • Mean defect size was 1.2 cm; all repairs were completed laparoscopically without complications.

  • Mean operative time was 35 minutes in an outpatient setting.
  • No recurrences were observed at a mean follow-up of 5.9 months.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic umbilical herniorrhaphy using a single 5-mm trocar is safe and technically feasible.
    • Potential advantages, including lower recurrence rates, require further validation with extended follow-up.
