Abstract
A case of necrosis of the 10-mm umbilical port site after laparoscopic closure of enterocele in a 66-year-old woman is reported. Ischemic necrosis of the superficial tissue with cellulitis of the umbilical wound was seen during debridement. This highlights a hitherto unforeseen complication of laparoscopic surgery.
