Why Fascia Suture Assisting Device? How Does The Device Work? With the increase in laparoscopic surgeries, the risk of trocar site hernias (TSH) also rises. This complication is rare but potentially dangerous and the incidence is currently estimated at around 1%. The risk of trocar site hernias has been investigated in lots of studies and papers worldwide. Risk factors for the development of trocar hernias include the trocar size and design, pre-existing fascial gaps, as well as surgery- and patient-specific factors. Peritoneal and fascial closure should be performed when using 10 mm trocars or larger. A special technique, which is easy to perform, minimizes substancially the risk of TSH. RUDOLF Medical offers a suitable instrument designed especially for closing trocar incisions, which supports the surgeon and makes fascia suturing much easier and more comfortable.
