Treatment of Chronic Traumatic Diaphragmatic Hernia Based on Laparoscopic Repair: Experiences From 23 Cases

“…Compared with laparotomy and thoracotomy, laparoscopic repair is superior in treating CTDH as it involves minimally invasive procedures, including less trauma, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stay (5). Compared with thoracoscopic surgery, laparoscopy contributed to the complete exploration of the entire abdominal cavity, which could illustrate the presence of adverse events such as hemorrhage and gastrointestinal rupture (19). For the cases with hemorrhage and gastrointestinal rupture, the lesions could be managed directly under the laparoscopic guidance, which was superior to the thoracoscopy.…”

Massive post-traumatic neglicted diaphragmatic hernia revealed by necrotizing pancreatitis, A case report according scare guidelines

“…Therefore, the diagnosis of diaphragmatic involvement will allow surgical resolution by a thoracic [ 11 ] or an abdominal approach [ 12 ] in multidisciplinary care [ 13 ]. It consisted of an abdominal organs reduction and a reinforced diaphragmatic plasty by several sessions of physical rehabilitation and respiratory physiotherapy [ 14 , 15 ].…”

Identification of Delayed Traumatic Diaphragmatic Injury: A Concise Review

“…Blunt trauma causes an abrupt increase in abdominal pressure to the diaphragm potentiating a diaphragmatic injury. Not only is it important to assess for past blunt or penetrating trauma but clinicians must also perform clinic follow-up after surgical repair to ensure a watertight closure of the diaphragm (Costa et al, 2020), so there is confidence in a nonrecurrence.…”
