Core Tip
Core tip: This report demonstrates that negligence of trocar site closure after laparoscopic surgery can result in very early trocar site herniation. This may occur particularly if an endoscopic intervention is required in the early postoperative period. Suturing the trocar site is not only important for the late trocar site herniations, it is imperative for early hernia problems as well.
