Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of skin adhesives and sutures in the closure of laparoscopic port-site wounds.
Methods: Electronic databases were searched to find relevant randomized controlled trials and their data was analyzed to generate a summative outcome.
Results: Seven trials on port-site wound closure after laparoscopic procedures encompassing 902 patients were retrieved from the electronic databases. Four randomized controlled trials on 404 patients qualified for the review according to inclusion criteria. In both fixed- and random-effects models, there was no difference between the two port-site wound closure techniques in terms of wound infection, wound dehiscence and, patient satisfaction. However, statistically tissue adhesives were quicker in port-site wound closure as compared with sutures.
Conclusions: Based on this review, there is insufficient evidence that port-site wound closure technique by tissue adhesives is superior to traditional suture closure technique in terms of wound infection, wound dehiscence, and patient satisfaction. However, tissue adhesives are quicker in port-site wound closure. A multicentre randomized controlled trial is required in order to obtain stronger evidence.

Liposuction Port-Site Protection: Necessity or Needless Expense?
Aesthet Surg J Open Forum
November 2024
Background: Liposuction is the most common cosmetic plastic surgery procedure in the United States, and lipo-aspiration for fat grafting is gaining in popularity. The results are effective, but complications include seroma, contour irregularities, skin necrosis, and even death. Scarring, dehiscence, and infection at the port site, although minor, are a common and less-discussed problem.

Introduction And Importance: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold standard for treating symptomatic gallstones in recent years due to its minimally invasive nature, which results in less pain, scarring, and a faster recovery time compared to traditional open surgery. Port site infection is a rare complication of laparoscopic surgery, sometimes occurring early after the procedure or developing later and the cause of these infections can vary. Port site tuberculosis (TB) is a particularly uncommon type of port site infection and represents a rare form of extra pulmonary TB.

Background: Postoperative wound recovery following laparotomy for port-site metastasis (PSM) resection is a concern. Reports indicate that wound healing disorders occur in patients with PSM. The challenges associated with PSM resection include the complete removal of the lesion, ensuring rapid wound healing, and maintaining the integrity of the abdominal wall.

The focused use of a single-site port as an adjunct designed to decrease overall port site number and/or assist with specimen extraction in pediatric robotic surgery has not been fully elucidated. We aimed to describe the feasibility of using the single-site port as an adjunct during multi-port robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RA-MIS). A single institution retrospective review of pediatric patients who underwent multiport RA-MIS with an adjunctive single-site (SS) port from August 2018 to October 2022 was performed.
