Port-site tuberculosis: a rare complication following laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Abstract
The rare complication of port-site tuberculosis following laparoscopic cholecystectomy is reported. In this case, the source of infection was most probably the laparoscope or its accessories. Thus, proper sterilization of the laparoscope and instruments is of utmost importance in preventing infectious complications and ideally autoclaving should be used for this purpose.

Inadequate instrument sanitation and cleaning with tap water contaminated with resistant atypical mycobacteria before glutaraldehyde immersion are examples of exogenous transmission mechanisms for port-site tuberculosis.
“Inadequate instrument sanitation and cleaning with tap water contaminated with resistant atypical mycobacteria before immersing them in glutaraldehyde solution are examples of exogenous transmission mechanisms [18].”

The epigastric port site in laparoscopic cholecystectomy or the specimen retrieval site in other laparoscopic procedures is typically involved in port-site tuberculosis due to maximum handling during surgery.
“Due to its association with maximum handling during surgery, the epigastric port site (in cases of lap cholecystectomy) or specimen retrieval site (in other laparoscopic procedures) is typically involved [18].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
