Port side tubercular abscess in women after lap-diagnosis for infertility
Keywords:
Port site, Tubercular abscess, Lap diagnosis, InfertilityAbstract
Infertility whether primary or secondary is an emotional and financial burden to the concerned family. In India we occasionally deal with financial constraints of the women undergoing treatment for infertility. Women getting post procedure port site tubercular abscess further makes the situation worse leading to long term burden of drug intake which could have been avoided by proper knowledge and use of sterilization technique of laparoscopic instruments.Metrics
