Successful Laparoscopic Repair of Posttraumatic Diaphragmatic Injury

Diaphragmatic injuries can be a direct result of penetrating thoracoabdominal trauma such as gunshot or stab wounds. Diaphragmatic rupture can lead to herniation of intra-abdominal organs into the thoracic cavity. Diagnosis can be difficult as the results of a physical exam can be unremarkable. A CT...

description Diaphragmatic injuries can be a direct result of penetrating thoracoabdominal trauma such as gunshot or stab wounds. Diaphragmatic rupture can lead to herniation of intra-abdominal organs into the thoracic cavity. Diagnosis can be difficult as the results of a physical exam can be unremarkable. A CT scan of the chest is diagnostic for diaphragmatic injuries. In most emergency cases, diaphragmatic injuries are managed with laparotomy where CT was diagnostic. We report a rare case of a 25-year-old man with right diaphragmatic injury sustained after a stab wound to the right liver managed successfully with laparoscopy.
