Zusammenfassung:Abstract The use of laparoscopic surgery has become widespread in recent years. One of its complications is port site hernia (PHS). It can be difficult to close the fascia at the time of laparoscopy, especially in obese patients, and there is a risk of herniation through a fascial defect with incomplete closure. It is important to ascertain closure of the defect when repairing PHS to prevent recurrence. We report a 47-year-old woman who developed a PHS at the superior aspect of the umbilicus. We repaired the defect using the VersaOneTM Fascial Closure System with laparoscopic guidance. This system allows the port site to be reliably closed while observing the suture from the abdominal cavity. The incision is the same size as a port site. If the abdominal wall is thick and the PHS has a diameter of ~10 mm, this method is considered to be indicated, regardless of the site.
