Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Trocar-site hernia is an uncommon complication of laparoscopic surgery and can be classified as early-onset, late-onset or special type. Special type hernias usually occur in the early postoperative period and result in evisceration of intra-abdominal contents through all layers of the abdominal wall without an overlying hernia sac. We present a case of special type herniation of the appendix through a 5-mm trocar site in the right iliac fossa following laparoscopic repair of a perforated duodenal ulcer. In this case, herniation occurred after removal of a drain inserted through the trocar site intraoperatively and was treated with emergent open appendicectomy. A number of patient and technical factors may be associated with an increased risk of trocar-site herniation including increasing age, elevated body mass index, increasing trocar size, longer procedure duration and absence of fascial closure. These factors must be borne in mind when planning trocar placement and number to reduce the risk of herniation.
