title: Spontaneous diaphragmatic rupture following robotic prostatectomy.
abstract: Robotic surgery is an established therapy for localised prostate cancer and is replacing conventional laparoscopic prostatectomy in developed countries. Port-site hernia is a recognised, albeit small, risk following laparoscopic or robotic surgery. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of the right hemidiaphragm following robotic prostatectomy.
