Laparoscopic port site closure uses dissolvable stitches to close small incisions made during laparoscopic procedures. This technique reduces the recovery time after a laparoscopic procedure and results in fewer complications. It also reduces pain at the wound sites, improves cosmetic results, and shortens hospital stays.
Reduced Pain
Pain can be an essential indicator of healing. However, many people can have difficulty tolerating this pain. Using laparoscopic closures will reduce pain to improve the healing process.
Better Cosmetic Results
Laparoscopic port site closure is the preferred method of closing the incision in a laparoscopic procedure. This technique’s numerous advantages include reduced scarring, no need for a drain, and improved patient satisfaction.
Shorter Hospital Stays
While the procedure does not take longer than traditional laparoscopic procedures, it requires a different technique. Patients may be hospitalized for slightly longer than expected with other surgeries. However, this extra time is offset by a shorter recovery period and less frequent visits to the doctor. In fact, when compared to traditional open surgery methods, it has been shown that laparoscopic port site closure results in fewer re-operations and significantly reduced hospital stays.
