AbstractThe present study was conducted to report the perioperative outcomes of single-port access (SPA) laparoscopic gynecologic surgeries with focus on the incidence of postoperative incisional hernia from our cumulative data of 2498 patients. A retrospective review was performed on the women who had received SPA surgeries from 2008 to 2018. Patient characteristics and perioperative outcomes including the incidence of postoperative incisional hernia were analyzed. There were 2498 Korean patients who received SPA surgeries for various gynecologic diseases. The median age of the patients was 40.3 ± 9.2 years, and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 22.6 ± 3.2 kg/m². A total of 3 postoperative incisional hernia occurred during the study period. Two patients whose fascial layers were closed in running sutures developed hernias 6 and 8 months after their operations. One patient whose fascial layers were closed in interrupted sutures developed hernia 11 months after her operation. The incidence of postoperative incisional hernia following SPA surgery is low in Asian women whose BMI is relatively lower than other patient populations. Interrupted suture technique may reduce postoperative incisional hernia by providing a distinct visualization of fascial layers during closure. Detailed descriptions of our surgical techniques of closing the port incision are provided.
