Popis: Background: Port site complications following elective laparoscopic surgeries are rare. Port site infection is the most common complication. Objectives: The study was conducted to analyze port site complications occurring in the patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries and measures to prevent them. Patients and Methods: Total 408 patients who underwent various laparoscopic surgeries were included in the study. Follow up was done for 3 months postoperatively. Port site was examined for any complication. Result: Out of 408 patients 24 patients (5.88%) developed port site complications. 14 patients developed post site infection, 4 patients had port site discharge with sinus formation, 4 patients developed port site bleeding and 2 patients had port site hernia. No case of port site metastasis or visceral injury while port insertion were found. No patient had port site omental entrapment. Conclusion: Minimally invasive surgery is a safe and effective with minimal complication. How to cite this article:Murtaza R, Gaur M, Tiwary AK, Jain S, Kumar B.
