Intercostal pleuroperitoneal hernia.

E J Croce, V A Mehta

    The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
    |June 1, 1979

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A fractured rib led to a complex intercostal hernia involving the pleura and peritoneum. Surgical repair included reinforcing diaphragmatic attachments with Marlex mesh for durable reconstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic surgery
    • Trauma surgery
    • Surgical reconstruction

    Background:

    • A patient presented with symptoms of a fractured right ninth rib and subsequent chest wall trauma.
    • Over five months, the patient developed sequelae indicative of an intercostal hernia.

    Observation:

    • Further investigations revealed the hernia comprised both posterior pleural and anterior peritoneal components.
    • Intraoperative findings confirmed a tear in the diaphragm from its costal attachments.

    Findings:

    • The intercostal pleural hernia was surgically repaired.
    • A Marlex mesh strip was affixed to the inner costal surfaces to create a durable new attachment for the diaphragmatic margin.
    • The diaphragmatic tear was repaired after mesh placement.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the injury mechanism aided in planning the reconstruction procedure.
    • This case highlights a complex diaphragmatic injury secondary to rib fracture and chest trauma.
    • The use of Marlex mesh offers a durable solution for diaphragmatic avulsion repair.
