Methodology: This study was carried out on patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with non-closure of port-site fascial sheath who attended for follow-up in our outpatient clinic up to one year from the date of surgery.&#13;
Results: None of the patients in our study came up with any indication of port site hernia.&#13;
Conclusion: Port-site closure of fascial sheath __ampersandsignle;10 mm may not be necessary in laparoscopic cholecystectomy to prevent port-site incisional hernias.&#13;
