摘要

Introduction: The incidence of laparoscopic trocar site hernia ranges from 0.1-1.3% in all surgical subspecialties, older age (age ＞60), female sex, increased body mass index, diabetes mellitus, long operation time, size-type-site of trocar are risk factors for developing a trocar site hernia. Case Report: Herein, a trocar site hernia of a 55-year-old female patient was presented with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, left inguinal pain and swelling after laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Conclusion: Trocar sites should be examined by imaging techniques following laparoscopic surgery. Procedures like smaller diameter trocars, less manipulated trocars and Z-incision technique may decrease the incidence of this complication, despite the increased number of laparoscopic surgeries.
