[Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. 2 case reports and review of the literature].
We have presented two cases of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia which have been diagnosed and operated in late stages, 6 months and 4 years, respectively, after the abdominal and thoracical traumatism causing diaphragmatic injure. The diagnosis was based on clinical and imaging results, while the treatment was meant to reduce the herniated organs in the abdomen and the closing up of the diaphragmatic defect, followed by good postoperative results. We have discussed the peculiarities of both case, the difficulty of early diagnosis and the techniques used to treat these cases. We have also presented data regarding posttraumatic diaphragmatic hernia and their treatment techniques.
