Abstract:
In recent 3 years, six cases of diaphragmatic hernia caused by blunt trauma were treated surgically. Traumatic mechanics, appearance of rupture, associated injury, diagnostic procedure and surgical treatment are reviewed. All of them were survived with immediate surgical repair. Thoracoscopy is so useful to diagnose the right sided diaphragmatic hernia.
