Abstract:
Traumatic diaphragmatic injuries are increasing and they must be considered in every thoraco-abdominal trauma. The Authors carried out a retrospective analysis of 25 cases, whose diagnosis was often difficult due to the predominant clinical effects of associated injuries. All patients underwent surgical operation with laparotomy to achieve reduction of herniated viscera and repair of the diaphragmatic lesion.
