Abstract:
Diaphragmatic invasion is not uncommon in patients undergoing hepatectomy for liver tumors. Where there are limited attachments of the diaphragm to the tumor, the authors describe a stapled technique for en bloc resection of the diaphragm without opening the chest cavity, thus performing an oncologic resection, while avoiding the need for pleural drainage.
