Trocar site hernia after laparoscopic surgery: a qualitative systematic review

Abstract: Current data suggests a relatively low incidence of TSH but that all trocar incisions of a minimum of 10 mm should be closed. In pre-school children undergoing laparoscopic surgery, all port sites should be closed.

“…To prevent TSH the fascia of trocar sites of 10 mm or above should be sutured with a non-absorbable or slowly-absorbable suture, especially in the umbilical area. Co-morbidities as diabetes, smoking and obesity might be risk factors for TSH (Helgstrand et al, 2010). The use of a Veress Needle (instead of an open introduction technique) and a sharp trocar (compared to a conical shaped trocar) are associated with a higher incidence of TSH.…”
