Abstract

Introduction: The laparoscopic surgical approach for surgical intervention has been used for a long time. The advantages of laparoscopic surgery over open surgery are an early return to activity, decreased postoperative pain, and fewer postoperative complications. Laparoscopic surgery has its own unique complications. Besides, major complications like vascular or bowel injury, port-site infections (PSI), port-site hernias, pyoderma, and metastasis at the port site following laparoscopic onco-surgery are rare.

Materials and Methods: Surgical excision of the sinus tract and secondary closure of the wound with negative drain placement Followed by anti-tubercular drug treatment. Follow-up with the patient to check for recurrence.

Conclusion: Early surgical intervention and the start of anti-tubercular drug treatment reduce the recurrence of sinus.
