Abstract:
During 5 months from 1/2000 to 5/2000, at Nhan Dan Gia Dinh Hospital, we have operated 5 patients with post-traumatic rupture of diaphragm. Among them, three planned operations and two urgent operations. All cases were diagnosed by clinical findings associated with chest X ray and GI tract examinations. Only one case we had by thoracotomy, the rest had been performed by laparotomy. The realized target of this study is determining the typical semiology of diaphragmatic rupture and proposing the laparotomy access for delayed diaphragmatic rupture.
