Summary

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.

Detailed description

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. Investigators thought that the incidence of trocar site hernia would decrease by using a 5 mm trocar, and investigators planned a study. Elective laparoscopic with a diagnosis of symptomatic cholelithiasis Patients hospitalized in Mogadishu-Somalia Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Training and Research Hospital and Konya Training and Research Hospital General Surgery clinic for cholecystectomy operation will be included in the study and randomized into two groups. In the first group, a 10 mm telescope will be used, and in the second group, a 5 mm telescope will be used. Patients will be followed up for a total of 3 years in 6-month periods for the development of trocar site hernia.
