- Abstract
The authors have reported two laparocele cases in the place of insertion of the umbilical trocar, on 156 laparoscopic accesses made by them. Both cases took place at the beginning of their experience when the navel fascial breach had not yet been stitched. The authors made an extensive review of the medical literature and have found out that such complication is rare and to prevent it, it is right to stitch the navel fascial defect, being careful for not englobing the epiploon or an intestinal loop in the suture.
