Inguinal single-port approach of endoscopic component separation for abdominal wall defects: A case series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The component separation (CS) technique is widely used for abdominal wall defects, particularly in infected wounds. CS is associated with many wound complications due to subcutaneous blood flow disturbance. Endoscopic component separation (ECS) has fewer wound complications compared to CS and has been performed recently. However, there are various port required placements for ECS, and this technique requires proficiency. One approach for ECS is the inguinal single-port approach, which can be performed from an inguinal incision similar to that used in open surgery for inguinal hernias.

Case presentation

We performed ECS with an inguinal single-port approach in three older adults. All patients had abdominal wall defects with infection at the central abdominal wound
