Background And Aim:
It is difficult to suture an extremely thin and billowed up congenital eventration of the diaphragm thoracoscopically, without insufflation.

Results:
A satisfactory result was obtained in all the four children.
Conclusion:
This is a useful adjunctive for thoracoscopic plication of diaphragmatic eventration.
