Abstract
A case of combined abdominal wall paresis and incisional hernia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is reported The paresis possibly occurred by a lesion of the N intercostalis when extending the incision for stone extraction Possibly the paresis was a predisposing factor for the development of an incisional hernia The causes of abdominal wall paresis are explored with a review of the literature In spite of minimal trauma to the anterior abdominal wall in laparoscopic procedures the risk of iatrogenic lesions remains
