Symptomatic port-site hernia associated with a non-bladed trocar after laparoscopic live-donor nephrectomy
Lowry PS, Moon TD, D'Alessandro A, et al.J Endourol 2003;16:493-494.
We describe what appears to be the first case of a port-site hernia at the site of insertion of a 10-mm non-bladed trocar, which was discovered 4 days after laparoscopic live-donor nephrectomy. We now close all 10-mm port sites in adults and all 5-mm port sites in children; this can be done easily using the Carter-Thomason device.
