What is the incidence of port site hernias for different port site closure methods in laparoscopic surgery?
Abstract
The evidence indicates that port-site hernia incidence varies with the laparoscopic technique used and port site closure methods, with umbilical ports often associated with higher risks. There remains a need for more standardized research to determine the optimal closure technique.
