The objective of this case study is the management of small necked diaphragmatic hernia in a patient with hostile abdomen. Case study describes the technique of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (U-VATS) for management of diaphragmatic hernia. This is a novel case for the management of diaphragmatic hernia using a patch utilizing minimally invasive cardiac surgical instrumentation via U-VATS approach. U-VATS is a feasible option for the management of diaphragmatic hernia in a patient with hostile abdomen. |
