[Iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia following abdominal esophagogastrofundoplication: report of a case].
The authors describe diagnosis and surgical treatment of a patient with iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia following esophagogastrofundoduplication by Nissen's operation. The patient had presented a hiatal hernia with esophagitis chronic regurgitation and was submitted to esophagogastrofundoduplication. On the third postoperative day, the patient showed signs of dysphagia and intense dyspnea. The computerized tomography showed the presence of the gastric fundus and it's contents inside the leftpleural cavity. The patient was submitted to a left posterolateral thoractomy and an ischemic peptic ulcer in the gastric fundus, blocked by lung parenchyma was sutured. Then, the stomach was reduced into the abdominal cavity with diaphragmatic suture associated with esophageal and gastric fundus fixation to the right diaphragmatic pilar. The patient presented satisfactory immediate and late postoperative follow-up (1 year). The authors discuss and document aspects of diagnosis as well as surgical indication.
