“…16,20 The possible mechanism is the extravasation of carbon dioxide into the subcutaneous tissues through the leakage of trocar seals. 21 Besides, prolonged operative time, use of higher insufflation pressure (>12 mm Hg), and use of multiple surgical ports (≥6) are also predisposing factors.…”

Background and Objectives:Increased interest in laparoendoscopic single-site surgery has instigated research into trials of novel techniques. The procedure we propose may potentially improve patient satisfaction and cosmetic results while diminishing the incidence of trocar-site herniation. We report our initial experience with laparoendoscopic single-site totally extraperitoneal herniorrhaphy for postoperative incisional hernia to determine the procedure's feasibility and safety.Methods:Three patients with incisional hernias after gynecologic surgery underwent laparoendoscopic single-site totally extraperitoneal procedures. We evaluated the patients' preoperative and postoperative condition, as well as the details of their original surgery. We performed the procedure through a 2-cm umbilical incision followed by mesh insertion and transabdominal suture placement in all patients.Results:Laparoendoscopic single-site totally extraperitoneal herniorrhaphy was completed in 80 to 120 minutes. No intraoperative complications were encountered, and surgical blood loss was minimal. The duration of hospital stay ranged from 2 to 4 days. One patient had a postoperative wound infection. The patients have shown no sign of recurrence at 9 months' follow-up.Conclusion:Laparoendoscopic single-site totally extraperitoneal herniorrhaphy appears to be feasible and safe. It may be performed with readily available instruments, although further experience and practice are warranted for a more efficient repair. The procedure has similar advantages to a multiport laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal procedure but yields better cosmetic results. More studies are needed to assess the long-term benefits and complications of this procedure.

“…One occurred in medical tourists operated on in the Dominican Republic in 2003/2004. NTM wound infections following mesh hernia repair have been reported sporadically [31,32]. Twelve cases of RGM (M. fortuitum and M. chelonae) infections were reported in one series following breast augmentation surgery [29], and a presumptive case (based on PCR but not isolated) was reported after a nasal silicone implant [30].…”

An improved understanding of the epidemiology of NTM SSTIs indicates a need to apply effective infection control and ensure regulation of cosmetic and related procedures associated with nonsterile fluids. Broader access to newer diagnostic methods will continue to improve recognition of NTM disease. Along with a paucity of therapeutic agents, there is need for more reliable methods to assess susceptibility and selection of effective combination therapy.

Complications of laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy including one case of atypical mycobacterial infection

Abstract: Although the mortality rate is low, potentially life-threatening complications such as small bowel and bladder perforation may be experienced by patients subjected to laparoscopic herniorrhaphy.
