Background: Laparoscopic techniques have advanced the surgical profession and are more advantageous than laparotomies, including lowering patient morbidity, reducing hospital stays and returning to normal activities. Complications depend on portal site incision size, the number of ports, obesity, and umbilical ports. Complications include abdominal access through laparoscopic trocars vascular injuries, visceral injuries, air embolisms, subcutaneous emphysema, infections at the port site, portal site incisional hernias and metastasis at portal sites. AIMS OF THE STUDY: To study and identify the port site related complications in laparoscopic procedures and to determine the risk factors, foresee difficulties, and recommend prompt preventative actions. MATERIALS & METHODS: A Prospective Observational study done in 50 patients undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery in the Department of Surgery, ACSR Medical College, Nellore for a period of 17 months from May 2022 to October 2023. RESULTS & Conclusion: A prospective study was analysed about the morbidity in the port sites in laparoscopic surgeries (both basic and advanced) including elective and emergencies, the risk factors of the complications and their management. This study population consists of 100 and was made in three years of the period. LPSCs were discharge, infection, bleeding, PSH and metastasis with discharge and infection being the most common. These complications are more in patients where the following factors were present: Open or Hasson's method of access, Larger port size, Old age group, Increased BMI, Not used of specimen retrieval bag.
