Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic surgery is currently one of the most efficient approaches to gynecological surgeries. While the incisional hernias with open and laparoscopic colectomies are undistinguishable.
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the Frequency of umbilicus site port hernia after laparoscopic procedure at tertiary hospital.
Methodology: The current prospective study was carried to determine the frequency of port site hernia after laparoscopic procedures at the department of general surgery Jinnah Medical College and Hospital form July 2022 - December 2022 after taking permission from the ethical committee of the institute. A total of 544 individuals of both genders and various age groups who underwent base line investigation and preoperative anesthetics fitness were enrolled in this study. These patients were monitored for two years following surgery, and their problems were routinely evaluated. Early post-operative problems such as wound infection and bleeding were addressed. SPSS Version 20 was used for statistical evaluation.
Results: In the current study over all 544 participants received laparoscopic procedures. Of these, there were 55(10%) diagnostic laparoscopies, 44(8%) appendicectomies and 445 (81%) cholecystectomies. 9(1.6%) had a port site hernia after two years of long-term follow-up.
Conclusion: From the current study it was concluded that umbilicus site port hernia is the major side effect of laparoscopic procedure. The incidence of hernia explored in this study was 1.6%.
