Port Site Sinus in a Post Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Patient

Dr. Abhishek Tiwari, Dr. Nitesh Tiwari, Dr. Shubham Raj

Abstract: Laparoscopic port- site infections, though infrequent, undermine the advantages provided by minimally invasive surgeries. Persistent non - healing discharging sinuses, not responding to conventional antibiotic therapy, pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Laparoscopic port - site infections range from 2% to 6%, and rapidly growing non - tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) as a cause of such infections have been established in several reports.

Keywords: laparoscopic infections, port-site complications, non-tuberculous mycobacteria, minimally invasive surgery, antibiotic resistance
