Early diagnosis and treatment are life-saving for patients who experience intestinal obstruction due to trocar site herniation after laparascopic interventions. This study is about a sixty-six years old female patient who had early-onset trocar site herniation after she applied to our clinic with dyspeptic complaints and underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy after cholelithiasis diagnosis
