  • Title: [The systematization and the etiopathogenicity of diaphragmatic hernias].
    Author: Alecu L.
    Journal: Chirurgia (Bucur); 2001; 96(3):259-64. PubMed ID: 12731176.
    Abstract:
    The author, based on up to date published dates, intends to present the classification and ethiopathogeny of the diaphragmatic hernias, except the aesophagic hiatus oms. This is an interesting chapter of the borderline surgery (abdominal and thorax). They are placed on the second position in frequency (after the hiatal hernias) in the diaphragmatic pathology; they are internal hernias, through congenital or obtained holes which allow to abdominal viscera to pass into thorax. They are--in the most cases, even elderly ones-congenital, result of the abnormalities in the embrionary growth of the diaphragm. A special place' is represented by the traumatic hernias.
