A 67-year-old woman reporting lower abdominal pain and anemia was examined. Small intestinal tumor was diagnosed by small intestinal radiographic contrast study and small intestinal endoscopy, and we decided to perform a laparoscopic partial resection of the small bowel. Since she was obese patients(BMI 36.3, abdominal wall 6 cm)at high risk of postoperative incisional hernia, we devised a way to make the wound smaller. We judged thick abdominal wall make umbilical wound larger in single port surgery. We performed multi-port surgery by using one 15 mm trocar, and removed small intestinal tumor from 15 mm port incision. In addition, to prevent incisional hernia, we used a trocar with a wound closure assist function for securely closing the port wound in all layers. Histopathological diagnosis was neuroendocrine tumor. The patient is being followed up without recurrence and without incisional hernia. In partial small bowel resection of obese patient, the use of a 15 mm port to minimize wound site and the use of trocar with a wound closure assist function may lead to prevent incisional hernia.
