  • Title: [Laparoscopic repair of a post-traumatic ruptured diaphragm. Case report].

    Abstract:
    We report an observation of traumatic rupture of the diaphragm repaired laparoscopically. A 23-year-old man was admitted to our hospital two days after having undergone a traffic accident. The diagnosis was evoked by chest radiograph, then confirmed by Computed tomography scan, in front of an ascension of the left diaphragmatic cupola and an intrathoracic digestive clarity. Seen the hemodynamic stability of the patient, a laparoscopic repair was indicated. The intra-abdominal pressure was fixed at 10 mm Hg. Despite the retraction of the diaphragmatic banks and the posterior seat of the breach, the intervention was held without any major incident. The postoperative course was marked by the formation of an encysted left pleural hematoma evacuated by a lung decortication. The evolution was normal thereafter.
