AB - Trocar site hernia (TSH) is a type of incisional hernia occurring at the trocar sites after minimal invasive
surgeries, most often in adult patients with non-sutured trocar sites. This is a case report of a 5 mm trocar
site omental herniation six years after laparoscopic appendectomy in a nine-year-old boy to emphasize that
incisions should be closed using fascial and cutaneous sutures, regardless of trocar size and localization, to
prevent TSH. We conducted a brief review of the literature on this topic.
