Özet

A port site hernia is rare type of incisional hernia. This paper reports on a case of herniation through both10 mm port sites following an uneventful laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The hernias were repaired usinga laparoscopic approach with two separate intraperitoneal onlay meshes. Port site hernias are rare butwell-known laparoscopic complication; however, no case of double port site hernias has been reported inthe indexed journals to date. When a patient is admitted with an evident hernia at one port site, all port sitesshould be carefully evaluated for herniation.
