Özet

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is emerging as a viable approach to increasingly complex intrathoracic therapeutic procedures. Here, we present a case of eventrated left hemidiaphragm caused by a blunt trauma in an elderly man. The diaphragm was repaired successfully using a video-assisted procedure, thus giving the patient the advantages of a minimally invasive operation.
