Acute herniation of intra-abdominal organs into the chest after extrapleural pneumonectomy is an uncommon but morbid and potentially mortal complication. We report a case of acute diaphragmatic hernia after extrapleural pneumonectomy for mesothelioma repaired laparoscopically. This approach is an alternative to repeated thoracotomy and is a viable option for treatment of this difficult problem with potentially less morbidity.
胸腔镜修补术治疗间皮瘤性剖胸术后急性膈肌疝 1 例
剖胸术后胸腔内器官急性疝入胸腔是一种罕见但严重且可能致命的并发症。我们报告了 1 例剖胸术后因间皮瘤而行胸膜外肺切除术并发急性膈肌疝的病例，该患者采用腹腔镜修补术治疗。与反复开胸相比，该方法是一种替代方法，对于治疗这种具有潜在高发病率的棘手问题具有潜在的较低发病率。
