Abstract :
The number of laparoscopic procedures done each year continues to rise substantially. Clinically significant hemorrhage from secondary port sites at laparoscopy is an uncommon but serious complication and can become unrecognized intraoperatively. Abdominal wall hemorrhage and bruising may complicate laparoscopic operative procedures. We propose an easy technical gesture to stop the bleeding at the port site in laparoscopic surgery. A simple technique is described to treat this complication. Our proposal is a simple gesture, easy to reproduce and, with no surgical time waste which we can obtain very good results in major bleeding difficult to control with traditional methods by that.
