Abstract:
Most surgical procedures in the past were performed through large incisions. Advancement of laparoscopic surgery has led to smaller incisions and reduction in most of the incision-related complications. However, laparoscopic surgery has its own complications. One of these complications is port site hernia which is an uncommon complication that can cause significant morbidity and requires an additional surgical procedure. Port site hernia following transperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty is extremely rare. Herein, we present such a case in which the patient was managed conservatively. To our knowledge this is the first reported case in literature.
Insights
Port site hernias are uncommon complications of laparoscopic surgery. This case report details an extremely rare instance of a port site hernia after transperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty, managed conservatively.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Innovation
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background:
- Traditional open surgery often involved large incisions, leading to complications.
- Laparoscopic surgery offers smaller incisions and fewer related complications.
- However, laparoscopic procedures can still result in complications like port site hernias.
