Laparoscopic diaphragmatic hernia repair using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) for delayed traumatic diaphragmatic hernia

Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia (TDH) is an uncommon surgical problem, and diagnosis is often delayed. However, the mortality from bowel necrosis can reach 80%. Therefore, suspicion is needed and surgery is required to prevent complications. A 50-year-old man was transferred due to abdominal pain and...

description Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia (TDH) is an uncommon surgical problem, and diagnosis is often delayed. However, the mortality from bowel necrosis can reach 80%. Therefore, suspicion is needed and surgery is required to prevent complications. A 50-year-old man was transferred due to abdominal pain and vomiting. Chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scan showed herniation of the stomach through the left diaphragm. The patient had fallen down 15 months ago and CT scan at that time revealed a small defect of the diaphragm without herniation. We diagnosed delayed herniation of TDH and the patient underwent laparoscopic repair using an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) mesh. Recovery was uneventful and the CT scan at 3 months after the operation showed no recurrence. We reported a delayed presenting TDH and considered a laparoscopic approach to be safe and feasible during elective surgery. Moreover, use of an ePTFE mesh for repair of large diaphragmatic hernia was also feasible.
