|June 18, 2026
Summary
Intramuscular port-site hernia (PSH) can occur even with proper fascial closure after robotic surgery. This rare complication requires careful monitoring and layered closure techniques to prevent bowel incarceration.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Oncology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Abdominal Wall Surgery
Background:
- Port-site hernia (PSH) is a rare but serious complication following minimally invasive surgery.
- PSH can occur despite adequate fascial closure.
- Intramuscular PSH, involving herniation between muscle layers without fascial dehiscence, is particularly uncommon.
