Abstract
This paper reports the complication of early incisional hernia occurri ng in three patients at the site of entry of a 12 mm disposable port d uring laparoscopic surgery. To avoid this complication, it is recommen ded that a 12 mm port be introduced through muscle rather than fascia and, following its removal, the defect in the abdominal wall be closed by sutures.
