title: [Surgery of the diaphragm in the planned thoracic surgery].
abstract: 122 patients with different diseases of the diaphragm were operated on during 1963-2011 yy. The majority of patients - 76 (62.3%) - had hernias of the weak phrenic zones. 14 (11.5%) and 17 (14.0%) patients had posttraumatic hernia and phrenic relaxation, respectively. The majority of patients had no complaints and the disease was diagnosed on the X-ray examination. Rarely, the compression syndrome, caused by the translocation of the bowel into the thoracic cavity, was registered. That clinically emerged as short breath, heaviness sensation and cardiac rhythm disorders. The worked out reconstructive operations allow to cure such patients with minimal risk.
