Patients and methods: The objective of this retrospective study is to assess the rate of trocar site hernia as wellas other complications after a new approach 5-10-5-5 with a 5 mm High-Definition Angled Scope. Records andvideos of the operations of eligible patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy at the Aswan University Hospital’s general surgery department were included.
Results: 1027 patients were included in the analysis of this study. Most of the participants were females, representing 93.18% of patients. The mean age of participants was 44.48±11.94 years, the mean ± SD operativetime was 88.90±28.30 minutes, and the median (IQR) was 83.5 (32.5) minutes. After the follow-up period of 9-49months, the average follow-up period was 28.63 ± 11.95 months, and no patient developed a trocar site hernia.
