Minimally invasive repair of right-sided blunt traumatic diaphragmatic injury

Abstract: Right-sided blunt traumatic diaphragmatic injury (TDI) is a rare injury that is rarely repaired by the minimally invasive approach in the acute setting. Laparoscopic repair of right-sided TDI is challenging because the liver often obstructs access to the injury site. Herein, we report a case wherein acute right-sided blunt TDI was successfully repaired using a combined laparoscopic and thoracoscopic approach. A 30-year-old man presented with shortness of breath after falling on his back while jumping on a snow… Show more

“…Second, thoracoscopic repair with artificial pneumothorax is effective for a BDI with hemothorax. Although the majority of BDIs were repaired with open techniques, some studies reported increased use of minimally invasive repairs [8] , [9] , [10] . There is no consensus in the literature on the recommended surgical approach [4] .…”

“…Quanto à técnica, há necessidade de serem feitas duas considerações: abordagem cirúrgica aberta ou minimamente invasiva e abordagem torácica ou abdominal? (16). A reparação é tipicamente realizada através do abdome (laparotomia), embora o acesso através do tórax (toracotomia) também seja aceitável e dependa da apresentação da lesão que exige a exploração cirúrgica (18).…”

Há recomendações para a abordagem abdominal quando tem chance de associação com lesão de outros órgãos abdominais (16).…”
