Abstract

As laparoscopic surgery advances into robotic surgery, there still remains the occurrence of port-site hernias. This can have severe consequences for the patient, including needing further surgery such as bowel resection. This has an impact on both patient and the National Health Service as the stay in hospital is prolonged, increasing the demand on staff and creating more expense to the National Health Service. This literature review explores the prevalence of port-site hernias and discovers the recommendations in preventive measures. Findings include the benefit of using non-bladed trocars and further studies need to be conducted into the association between smaller or larger ports and port-site hernias.
