Abstract

Aim: Diaphragmatic hernia is characterized by the herniation of abdominal organs into the thoracic cavity through a defect in the diaphragm. Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia (TDH) usually develops after high-energy blunt trauma or penetrating injuries and poses a significant clinical problem. This study presents the repair of liver herniation due to a right diaphragmatic defect using a hand-assisted laparoscopic surgical technique with a gel port system. Case: A 53-year-old male patient was diagnosed with liver herniation due to TDH. Surgical repair was performed using a hand-assisted laparoscopic technique with the Gelport® system, the liver tissue was safely mobilized, and the diaphragmatic defect was successfully closed primarily. No complications were observed during postoperative follow-up. Conclusion: Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery with a gel system has been used as an effective and safe method for the repair of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia.

Özet

Amaç: Diyafragma hernisi, diyaframdaki defekt nedeniyle abdominal organların toraks boşluğuna herniye olmasıyla karakterizedir. Travmatik diyafragma hernisi (TDH), genellikle yüksek enerjili künt travmalar veya penetran yaralanmalar sonrası gelişir ve önemli bir klinik sorun teşkil eder. Bu çalışmada, sağ diyafragma defektine bağlı karaciğer herniasyonunun, jel port sistemli el yardımlı laparoskopik cerrahi teknik kullanılarak onarımı sunulmuştur. Olgu: 53 yaşında erkek hastaya TDH`ye bağlı karaciğer herniasyonu tanısı konuldu. Cerrahi onarım, Gelport® sistemiyle el yardımlı laparoskopik teknikle yapılmış, karaciğer dokusu güvenle serbestleştirilmiş ve diyafragmadaki defekt başarılı bir şekilde primer olarak kapatılmıştır. Postoperatif takiplerde komplikasyon gözlenmemiştir. Sonuç: Jel sistemli el yardımlı laparoskopik cerrahi, travmatik diyafragma hernisi onarımında etkili ve güvenli bir yöntem olarak uygulanmıştır.
