port site complications

Port site complications are issues that can happen at the small incision points used during minimally invasive surgeries, like laparoscopies. These complications include infections, where bacteria cause redness, swelling, or pus; bleeding under the skin; or hernias, where internal tissue pushes through the incision. Sometimes, nerves or blood vessels near the site get injured. Proper surgical technique and care help prevent these issues. If symptoms like persistent pain, swelling, redness, or bleeding appear after surgery, it's important to see a healthcare provider for evaluation and treatment.
