摘要
We report a case of a 30-year-old male patient who presented with a huge abdominal wall hematoma 60 minutes after laparoscopic appendectomy. During surgery there had been no sign of abdominal wall bleeding. We found a lateral abdominal wall hematoma caused by rupture of the abdominal epigastric artery after trocar insertion. We conclude that trocar injury is a potentially preventable complication in laparoscopic surgery if certain precautions are taken. Abdominal wall hematoma secondary to injury of an epigastric vessel can be successfully treated with conservative management.
