Left video-Assisted thoracoscopic surgery for hemidiaphragm traumatic rupture repair

Abstract

Diaphragmatic laceration is not a rare condition after blunt thoraco-Abdominal trauma following road traffic accidents. Diagnosis is sometime difficult and clinical presentation devious. Video-Assisted thoracic surgery is a safe approach in order to confirm diagnosis and treat, like in this this case of an 86-year-old lady with grade IV injury.
