Abstract :
Aim: To study the incidence of post-operative port site hernias in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our centre.
Methodology: This study was carried out on patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with non-closure of port-site fascial sheath who attended for follow-up in our outpatient clinic up to one year from the date of surgery.
Results: None of the patients in our study came up with any indication of port site hernia.
Conclusion: Port-site closure of fascial sheath ?10 mm may not be necessary in laparoscopic cholecystectomy to prevent port-site incisional hernias.
