Abstract
KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Recently, the number of minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) is increasing; however, a specific postoperative complication of MIS such as port-site hernia needs to be recognized. A persistent postoperative ileus after MIS is rare and such symptoms need to be recognized as a probable sign of a port-site hernia. ABSTRACT: Recently, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) approaches for early endometrial cancer have shown non-inferior oncologic outcomes with better perioperative morbidity than open approaches. Nevertheless, port-site hernias are a rare but specific surgical complication of MIS. Knowing the clinical presentation, surgery for port-site hernias could help clinicians manage this condition.
