Delayed presentation of posttraumatic diaphragmatic hernia

Thoracotomy compared to laparotomy in the traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. Systematic review and proportional methanalysis

“…2018;33(1): [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66] of the included studies reported the need to open the second cavity, so when opting for the thoracic approach, the need for abdominal cavity opening appears to have been greater than when the option was for the abdominal approach, but due to the small number of cases where it was possible to collect these data, the confidence interval was very wide, making this difference not significant. Perhaps if more studies had shown this data we could have found significant difference.…”

Evaluation of the patients diagnosed with diaphragmatic rupture in emergency room

“…While understood, this action may cause these types of injuries to be overlooked. [10] In several studies, the percentage of overlooked cases of diaphragm ruptures was reported to range from 1-7% with blunt traumas, [3] and 10-15% with penetrating traumas. [2] Three-fourths of all diaphragmatic injuries are due to blunt traumas while one-fourth are to the result of penetrating traumas.…”

Importance of diagnostic laparoscopy in the assessment of the diaphragm after left thoracoabdominal stab wounds: A Prospective cohort study

“…Wound in the diaphragm may enlarge over time and lead to herniation of intraabdominal organs into the thoracic cavity, causing mortality in up to 48% of cases. [2,[8][9][10]17,18] Early diagnosis and treatment is essential.…”
