“…During the procedure, the hernia was fixed, and a port site cyst was removed, which was intact. Remarkable characteristics of a hydatid cyst were seen in the histopathology [ 16 ]. Another instance of a 40-year-old female patient who had previously undergone laparoscopic hepatic hydatid cystectomy and had a recurrence of hepatic hydatid cysts with port-site anterior abdominal wall hydatid cysts was described by Swamy et al in 2021.…”

Laparoscopic surgery has become a widely accepted standard of care for numerous procedures in the modern world. Nearly every major surgical procedure previously only possible by employing open techniques may now be completed laparoscopically, attributable to the quick advancement of technology and surgeons' abilities. There are several complications associated with the laparoscopic port site, either infective, non-infective, or neoplastic. This study aims to explore the morbidity associated with the port site following laparoscopic surgery and discuss the risk factors for complications. The umbilical port was most frequently associated with port-site hernia (PSH), followed by the epigastrium and the left and right hypochondrium. Prolonged port manipulation and reinsertion, longer surgical times, failure to effectively close the fascial defect, and wound infection are responsible for the development of PSH. Port-site infection (PSI) is one avoidable adverse effect of laparoscopic surgery. Patients who have a history of diabetes, malnourishment, prolonged preoperative hospital stays, preoperative Staphylococcus aureus colonization of the nares, perioperative blood transfusions, and tobacco or steroid use are more likely to have PSI. Port-site hydatid cyst (PSHC) and port-site tuberculosis (PST) are rare but possible. While uncommon, a doctor should rule out endometriosis if a painful mass in the surgical scar, such as the trocar site, is discovered in a reproductive-age woman who has had pelvic or obstetric surgery in the past. Port-site metastasis (PSM) is the term for tumor-cell implantation at the trocar insertion site after a malignant tumor is removed laparoscopically. PSM has been reported in 1-2% of laparoscopic gynecologic surgical procedures. A few potential mechanisms for cell implantation at the port site include embolization of exfoliated cells during tumor dissection or hematogenous spread, air turbulence during long laparoscopic operations, and direct implantation onto the wound during forced, unprotected organ/tissue retrieval or from contaminated surgical instruments during tumor dissection. Nonetheless, the triggering mechanism is likely essentially multifaceted. Prevention is better than cure. Port-site hernia can be prevented using smaller trocars and meticulous rectus sheath defect closure at the end of surgery. The rest of the port site complications can be prevented by employing autoclavable laparoscopic hand instruments, utilizing autoclaved water to clean the instruments following disassembly, adhering to the recommended concentration, contact duration, and usage cycles when sterilizing instruments with liquid sterilizers, preventing bile or gut content from spilling into the operating room or the port site, using non-porous specimen retrieval bags for recovering the specimen, and thoroughly cleaning and irrigating the port site before closing the wound.
