Abstract
A 51-year-old man with a traumatic diaphragmatic rupture is presented. Preoperatively, diaphragmatic rupture and herniation of the stomach into the left thoracic cavity were suspected. Under thoracoscopic guidance, the stomach and omentum were repositioned in the abdominal cavity using Babcock forceps, and then the rupture site was closed using an endoscopic hernia stapler. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged from our hospital with no symptoms.Entities:
