Laparoscopic repair of a Bochdalek hernia with incarcerated bowel during pregnancy: report of a case

Isabelle Debergh et al. Surg Today. 2014 Apr.

Abstract

A Bochdalek hernia is a rare type of diaphragmatic defect, generally presenting in early childhood with acute signs of cardiorespiratory distress. We herein report a case of acute abdomen in a pregnant patient with pain increasing when lying on her right side. Laparoscopic evaluation revealed a right-sided Bochdalek hernia with incarcerated bowel. A successful reduction was possible, and laparoscopic repair appears to be a safe and feasible technique for the repair of these hernias.
