Video-assisted thoracic surgical repair of a foramen of Bochdalek hernia

M L Silen et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 1995 Aug.

Abstract

A case report of a congenital posterolateral diaphragmatic hernia in an adolescent is presented and a technique for thoracoscopic repair of Bochdalek hernia is described. Postoperative discomfort was minimal and the hospital stay was less than 24 hours. Video-assisted thoracic surgery may be the technique of choice for repair of certain congenital diaphragmatic hernias when identified after infancy.
