“…In parallel, cases emerged after the report of Meyer et al [10] in 2000 on the use of a minimally invasive approach for posttraumatic cases, either immediately or some time after the trauma [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. But to our knowledge, very few reports to date describe laparoscopic repair of posttraumatic herniation of the liver other than bowel loops [18].…”

“…If hernial ring edges can be drawn near each other without tension, the method of choice for repairing the defect is single interrupted sutures using non-resorbable material. Large diaphragmatic defects are closed with synthetic mesh 12,13,15,16 In our case, the size of the diaphragmatic defect (~ 5 cm) allowed successful closing without using any synthetic mesh.…”

“…The additional abdominal approach is further justifi ed by the requirement that in large Bochdalek hernias it is obligatory to verify the presence of eventual intestinal malrotation as associated anomaly. 1,12,13,17,18 After repositioning the abdominal organs into the peritoneal cavity, the diaphragmatic defect must be closed. If hernial ring edges can be drawn near each other without tension, the method of choice for repairing the defect is single interrupted sutures using non-resorbable material.…”

“…A herniorrafia laparoscópica é uma técnica que vem sendo utilizada com frequência na medicina há mais de uma década (Wadhwa et al, 2005), sendo uma alternativa viável em relação aos métodos convencionais. Sua natureza minimamente invasiva, o curto tempo de hospitalização e a recuperação dos animais fazem essa modalidade diagnóstica e terapêutica se tornar interessante cada vez mais, não só para os médicos veterinários como também para os proprietários dos animais (Matyjasik et al, 2011).…”
