Abstract
Port-site hernia (PSH) of less than 10 mm is an exceptionally rare complication of minimally invasive surgery (MIS). To date, there have been no cases in the literature reporting recurrence of PSH from a 5 mm incision. We present the first case of PSH recurrence in a woman who underwent surgery for benign gynaecological pathology via a MIS approach. Her post-operative course was complicated by an episode of symptomatic hernia arising from a 5 mm accessory trocar which was surgically managed. A few months later she re-presented with the same symptoms and had a PSH recurrence of the same port-site. Two corrective surgeries employing different techniques were performed. The first episode was managed laparoscopically using interrupted stitches. On the other hand, the PSH recurrence was managed by placement of a mesh. Ultrasound played a crucial role in diagnostics, especially in the recurrent setting. Due to the complete absence of similar cases in the literature, the decision making around the management of a PSH recurrence from a 5 mm trocar site proved to be challenging. As MIS is the current standard of care, more cases are likely to occur, however despite the increasing number of surgical procedures performed via MIS, no established guidelines for managing such complications have been proposed. Trying to bridge this gap, we present the case report of the first case of PSH recurrence from a 5 mm accessory port and a review of the most significant literature available to date. We finally summarise the reported cases of PSH and the types of surgical repair conducted to highlight the absence of a standard of care.

Mizuno R, Honma S. Endoscopic retroperitoneal repair of superior lumbar hernia (Grynfeltt hernia) using self-fixating mesh to prevent nerve injury: a case report. Surg Case Rep 2024; 10:52. [PMID: 38441792 PMCID: PMC10914653 DOI: 10.1186/s40792-024-01846-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary superior lumbar hernia, also called the Grynfeltt Hernia, is a rare entity; hence, a standard surgical repair method has not been established. It is important for this repair procedure not only to prevent recurrence by placing an adequate size of mesh but also to avoid nerve injury. The endoscopic retroperitoneal approach is considered a useful technique for this procedure, requiring no mobilization of the colon and providing good visibility of the surrounding nerves. A self-fixating mesh does not require a traumatic fixation, which is considered advantageous for nerve preservation. CASE PRESENTATION A 72-year-old woman, complaining of left lumbar swelling, was diagnosed with a primary left superior lumbar hernia and underwent endoscopic retroperitoneal hernia repair. With the patient in the right lateral decubitus position, five small ports were inserted, and the retroperitoneal space was dissected. The 2.0 × 1.0-cm hernial orifice was found, and the 12th subcostal nerve above the hernial orifice and the iliohypogastric and the ilioinguinal nerves below the hernial orifice were identified. A 15 × 10-cm self-fixating mesh was placed in the retroperitoneal space without mesh tacking. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the first postoperative day. Two years after surgery, there was no sign of recurrence, and chronic pain and neuropathic symptoms were absent. CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic retroperitoneal repair of primary superior lumbar hernia using a self-fixating mesh seems to be useful for nerve preservation.

Abstract
Cholecystectomy is one of the most common general surgery procedures performed worldwide. Complications include bile duct injury, strictures, bleeding, infection/abscess, retained gallstones, hernias, and postcholecystectomy syndrome. Obtaining a critical view of safety and following the other tenets of the Safe Cholecystectomy Task Force will aid in the prevention of bile duct injury and other morbidity associated with cholecystectomy.

Abstract
Background
Port site hernias are a recognized complication of laparoscopic surgery and carry a high risk of strangulation because of the small size of the defect involved. Most hernias occur in trocar sites that are larger than 10 mm. This has resulted in the accepted practice that fascial defects larger than 10 mm are closed, incorporating the peritoneum and fascia, whereas defects less than 10 mm are not closed.
Results
We report a port site hernia at a 5-mm port site in a 90-year-old woman after ventral rectoplexy. A systematic review of literature found 27 cases of 5-mm port site herniation: 10 cases in general surgery and 17 cases in gynecological surgery.
Conclusion
The possibility of herniation through 5-mm port sites should be known to avoid a delay in recognition, diagnosis, and treatment.

Abstract
Laparoscopic approaches to inguinal hernia repair are becoming increasingly more popular as they offer many advantages to open techniques including faster recovery and lower rates of wound infection. However, it is important to recognize complications associated with newer techniques which only become apparent with increased volume and experience. In this report, we describe a rare case of small bowel obstruction (SBO) secondary to peritoneal defect herniation post-transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP). This is an uncommon complication that is sparsely reported in the literature but may have devastating consequences for the patient if unrecognized or mistakenly attributed to adhesional SBO. A high index of suspicion for internal herniation and a low index for reoperation are important with SBO in the early postoperative phase post-TAPP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trocar site hernia (TSH) is a rare but potentially dangerous complication of laparoscopic surgery, and the drain-site TSH is an even rarer type. Due to the difficulty to diagnose at early stages, TSH often leads to a delay in surgical intervention and eventually results in life-threatening consequences. Herein, we report an unusual case of drain-site TSH, followed by a brief literature review. Finally, we provide a novel, simple, and practical method of prevention.
CASE SUMMARY A 54-year-old female patient underwent laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy for uterine fibroids 8 d ago in another hospital. She was admitted to our hospital with a 2-d history of intermittent abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal enlargement with an inability to pass stool and flatus. The emergency computed tomography scan revealed the small bowel herniated through a 10 mm trocar incision, which was used as a drainage port, with diffuse bowel distension and multiple air-fluid levels with gas in the small intestines. She was diagnosed with drain-site strangulated TSH. The emergency exploratory laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis. A herniorrhaphy followed by standard intestinal resection and anastomosis were performed. The patient recovered well after the operation and was discharged on postoperative day 8 and had no postoperative complications at her 2-wk follow-up visit.
CONCLUSION TSH must be kept in mind during the differential diagnosis of post-laparoscopic obstruction, especially after the removal of the drainage tube, to avoid the serious consequences caused by delayed diagnosis. Furthermore, all abdomen layers should be carefully closed under direct vision at the trocar port site, especially where the drainage tube was placed. Our simple and practical method of prevention may be a novel strategy worthy of clinical promotion.

Abstract
Trocar site herniation is a rare complication following laparoscopic surgery. We report a case of small bowel herniation through 5mm port site following laparoscopic myomectomy. A 36-year-old lady underwent laparoscopic myomectomy. On the fourth postoperative day she developed features of intestinal obstruction. Further evaluation with CT scan showed herniation of a loop of small bowel through the 5mm port site in right iliac fossa. Surgical exploration of the port site revealed a herniated loop of viable small bowel. The enlarged facial defect was closed after reduction of the bowel. Patient recovered uneventfully. Bowel herniation through 5mm port site is a rare complication which requires prompt diagnosis and immediate treatment to avoid morbidity.

Abstract
Background. Surgical drains have been used since time immemorial, but their use is not without complications. By presenting this case we aim to describe an uncommon complication of herniation of fallopian tube following the simple procedure of surgical drain removal. Case Presentation. This case describes a 23-year G2P1L1 who underwent an emergency cesarean section for obstructed labor with intraperitoneal drain insertion. The patient had an uneventful postoperative period, drain was removed on day 4, and she was discharged. She presented on day 8 with the complaint of soakage of drain site dressing. On examination an edematous, tubular structure with early sign of necrosis was seen coming out of drain site and a provisional diagnosis of appendix herniation was made. On emergency laparotomy fallopian tube was seen coming out through the drain site and salphingectomy was done. Conclusion. Drains are not a substitute for good surgical technique. Although herniation of intestine, omentum, appendix, gall bladder, and ovary have been reported, we could not find any case of fallopian tube herniation in the literature searched by us.
