Abstract

Laparoscopic approach for diaphragmatic hernias has proven to be superior to open surgery, however debate between thoracoscopy versus transperineal laparoscopy continues. Author report the case of a 66 years old man with a rare congenital larrey hernia that protrudes into the pericardium. Abdominal laparoscopic surgery was performed with successful reduction of content and repair of defect, placing a composite mesh and drain. Follow-up was uneventful. The review of literature revealed this as a rare atraumatic peritoneal-pericardium hernia. Author demonstrate an abdominal laparoscopic approach as a safe and adequate technique in such case.
