Abstract

Extensive experience has been gained with the laparoscopic approach to the diaphragm in recent years. However, this experience is almost exclusively with the various types of hiatal hernia repair. Traumatic and congenital diaphragmatic defects are much less common, and each present unique obstacles to a minimally invasive approach. However, with the proper training, equipment and circumstance most of the unusual diaphragmatic hernias are amenable to laparoscopic repair. Furthermore, patients can expect the same well-known benefits of minimal access surgery, with a recurrence rate similar to the open approach.
