Incarcerated right-sided diaphragmatic hernia in a patient undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Bochdalek hernia is the most common congenital diaphragmatic hernia.Its symptoms are normally diagnosed and treated during the neonatal period.Conversely, in adults it is usually asymptomatic and, as a consequence, this group is misdiagnosed.A case of a 64-year-old female patient with an uncommon incarcerated right-sided diaphragmatic hernia formed three years after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and a significant weight loss is reported.The importance of this abnormality as a complication of the bariatric surgery should be considered.
