Key Points

The aim is to evaluate techniques for closing laparoscopic ports specifically in obese patients.
Evaluated four techniques for port closure
Focused on the rate of second surgery for hernia
Adhered to guidelines regarding incisions 10 mm or larger
M-Close technique reduced the rate of hernia surgery
Findings support closing all incisions 10 mm or larger
Forms a basis for future randomized comparative trials

Abstract

This study suggests that M-Close reduces the rate of second surgery for hernia. The results also reinforce guideline recommendations that all incisions 10 mm or larger should be closed. This report provides a basis for planning randomized comparative trials.
