Successful management requiring multidisciplinary cooperation between seven departments for a large right-sided incarcerated traumatic diaphragmatic hernia: a case report and review of literature.

We present a rare case of incarcerated traumatic diaphragmatic hernia (TDH) at the right-side presenting as dramatic dyspnea and acute gastrointestinal obstruction, which required urgent operative repair. This entity is sometimes difficult to ascertain after acute trauma and then consequently give rise to diagnostic delays with life-threatening outcomes. Successful management required a coordinated effort between anesthetist, sonographer, intensive care specialist, thoracic, urological, hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal surgeons. Tight and active multidisciplinary cooperation in this case manifested the positive energy in emergent resuscitation.
