| description | Objective: Various techniques and instruments have been
developed to provide safe and secure closure of
laparoscopic wounds. Herein we describe a simple method
to close laparoscopic supraumbilical wounds with the aid of
a laparoscopic port.
Method: This was a retrospective review of prospective data,
which were from 151 patients who underwent laparoscopic
cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstone disease from
December 2009 to December 2010 in Sultanah Bahiyah
Hospital. A senior consultant hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB)
surgeon and two HPB trainee surgeons performed the
operations. Postoperatively, all patients were followed up at
4 weeks.
Results: All patients successfully underwent closure of the
supraumbilical wound with the assistance of a 5mm
laparoscopic port. None of the patients had incisional hernia
on follow up.
Conclusion: Port assisted closure of supraumbilical
laparoscopic wounds is a feasible and safe technique. |
