A Study to Compare Local Complications in Use of Disposable versus Reusable Metallic Ports in Laparoscopic Surgeries - A Randomised Controlled Trial - General Surgery
Abstract: Introduction: Minimally invasive surgeries encompass surgical techniques that limit the size of incisions needed and so lessen wound healing time, associated pain, risk of infection and shorter hospital stay, quick recovery and a cosmetic scar. It has been enabled by advance of various medical technologies. Aim of study: To compare local complications in use of disposable versus metallic reusable ports in laparoscopic surgeries performed in a tertiary care teaching hospital. Material and methods: Total of 343 patients were included in the study. It was a randomized control trial and was carried for a duration of two years. All cases undergoing laparoscopic surgery at command hospital pune were included. Excluding immune compromised and those converted to open surgery. Results: There was a significant difference between the 3 groups in terms of Port Site Insertion Difficulty Score (p =
