Scientific Publications on Trocar Wound Closure
Herniation into the trocar site is a relatively common complication of
laparoscopic surgery. In cases involving the use of 10 or 12 mm trocars,
an incidence of 0.23 to 3.1 percent has been reported.1 Port-site
herniation even occurs with 5 mm trocars, particularly following lengthy
procedures involving extensive manipulation.2
Port-site herniation can be prevented by closing all trocar wounds
with the Carter-Thomason CloseSure® System.
The following is a list of general scientific publications on
full-thickness closure of trocar wounds. You can access the abstract or
