Overview

10 mm telescope is generally used in laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. The use of a 10 mm telescope, although rare, causes the development of a trocar site hernia. İnvestigators thought that the incidence of trocar site hernia would decrease by using a 5 mm trocar, and investigators planned a study.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Rate of people developing trocar site hernia

Patients in both groups will undergo a physical examination every six months postoperatively. Those with suspected clinical hernia will be evaluated by ultrasonography. Whether the Trokar site hernia has developed will be recorded in the study registration forms. At the end of the third year, the controls will be completed, and the study will be terminated.

Time frame: Three years has been designed from the completion of the operations.
