Abstract
The study aims to assess the morbidity associated with ports at the site of their insertion in laparoscopic surgery, to define, control risk factors for complications and their management. All patients who underwent laparoscopic surgeries, between 2022 and 2023, at GGH, Guntur, in the Department of General Surgery after receipt of written consent were included, and port sites were monitored for complications. Data collected and analysed by various statistical methods. Of the 100 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, 36 had developed complications directly linked to the port-site during a minimum follow-up of two-year period; port site discharge (PSD) was the most frequent, followed by port site infection, bleeding.
