Abstract:
We report a 59-year-old man who presented with progressive dyspnea of 30 years. His pulmonary function tests showed reduced forced expiratory volume in the first second and forced vital capacity and computed tomography of the chest showed eventration of the left hemi-diaphragm. He underwent successful laparoscopic stapled resection / plication of the lax hemi-diaphragm. He was discharged on the fourth postoperative day with the intercostal drain in situ and this was removed 5 days later at follow up. Postoperatively the pulmonary function showed significant improvement and he remains well 2 years after surgery.

Adult bone marrow has three distinct types of stem cells:...
