Laparoscopic Repair of a Strangulated Right Diaphragmatic Hernia Following Blunt Trauma

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Right-sided traumatic diaphragmatic hernias are rare and easily missed due to liver shielding. Persistent or delayed respiratory or abdominal symptoms after blunt trauma warrant CT evaluation. Early laparoscopic repair enables safe reduction, tension-free closure, and rapid recovery, preventing life-threatening complications like strangulation or bowel ischemia.
