Case report reveals intramuscular port-site hernia occurrence despite fascial closure in minimally invasive surgery, suggesting potential risks.
INTRODUCTION: Port-site hernia (PSH) is a rare but potentially serious complication of minimally invasive surgery. Although adequate fascial closure is recommended, PSH may occur even after apparently appropriate closure. Intramuscular PSH, in which the bowel becomes incarcerated between abdominal wall muscle layers without overt fascial dehiscence, is particularly uncommon.
