Laparoscopic surgery for a Bochdalek hernia triggered by pregnancy in an adult woman: A case report

“…The cause remains unknown [3] . Wiseman et al reported that increased intra-abdominal pressure, such as that occurring in pregnancy, during exercise, and in patients with obesity, is an important influential factor [4] . In the present case, we surmised that the BH had developed during late pregnancy, when the patient first became aware of abdominal pain on her left side.…”

“…A recently published study reviewing detailed cases of laparoscopic and/or thoracoscopic repair of adult BHs from 1999 to 2016 identified 30 cases ( Table 1 ); 10 men and 20 women with a mean age 48.6 years [1] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] .

Laparoscopic repair of a Bochdalek hernia in an elderly patient: a case report with a review from 1999 to 2019 in Japan

“…The 94 remaining case studies, published between 1999 and 2019, matched our inclusion criteria for this analysis. We accessed and analyzed 96 case reports of adult BH including the present case (Table 1) [10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…Surgical reduction of the prolapsed organs and the closure of the hernia orifice is required. Although recently published studies have described the efficacy of thoracoscopic and/or laparoscopic repair for BH in adults, there are currently no established optimal approaches or methods [2,4,[10][11][12][13][14][15]. Herein, we describe our experience of adult BH in detail and review in light of surgical options from the available literature on Japanese cases.…”
