“…Treatment is recommended when diaphragmatic hernia is accompanied by intestinal content, when there are complications in any of the hernia's contents (as in the present case), when the ureter is obstructed or there is vesicoureteral reflux [9] [11]. Some authors recommend, in addition to hernia repair, nephropexy [12] [13]. Hernia repair can be performed by the abdominal or thoracic route, by open surgery, by laparoscopy and even by a robot-assisted technique, using mixed approaches and hybrid procedures.…”

Diaphragmatic hernias may be acquired or congenital. Among congenital hernias, the most common is Bochdalek hernia and eight out of ten Bochdalek hernias occur on the left side. They are usually diagnosed in the paediatric age group, and it is exceedingly rare for the diagnosis to be established in adulthood. Renal ectopy associated with a Bochdalek hernia is extremely rare, and very few cases are reported worldwide. We are reporting a case of a 73-year-old male patient with a right-sided Bochdalek hernia and renal ectopy. In this case, promp diagnosis and treatment could help to reduce the high risk of death in this kind of patients.
