          Abstract

          La hernia diafragmática traumática se presenta con relativa frecuencia en cualquier medio y se necesita de un alto índice de sospecha para su diagnóstico, especialmente en los casos de trauma cerrado. Se presenta una paciente operada por esta afección luego de sufrir un trauma cerrado abdominal 16 años atrás, a la que se le encontró una hernia diafragmática izquierda, formada por todo el estómago, colon transverso, bazo y epiplón mayor. Se hace referencia a algunos aspectos de interés sobre esta enfermedad los síntomas que presentó la paciente, los complementarios empleados para llegar al diagnóstico, así como a los principios fundamentales para la reparación de estas lesiones. En dependencia del diámetro del anillo herniario el orificio se puede cerrar con puntos de sutura no absorbible o colocar un material protésico para cubrir el defecto, el abordaje puede ser por vía torácica, abdominal o combinada en dependencia del tiempo de evolución de la misma.

          Translated abstract

          Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is relatively frequent in any conditions and needs a high rate of suspicion to be diagnosed, particularly in the cases of closed trauma. A patient who underwent an operation, due to this affection, after suffering an abdominal closed trauma, 16 years before, presented a left diaphragmatic hernia; it covered the stomach, transverse colon, spleen and the gastrocolic omentum. Some other aspects of interest about the disease and the symptoms were observed. Laboratory findings and the main principles to repair these lesions were taken into consideration to establish the diagnosis. Considering that; the diameter of the hernial ring as well as the orifice can be closed with non-absorbable suture or placing prosthetic material to cover the defect, the approach can be thoracic, abdominal or combined depending on the time of its evolution.

          Management of diaphragmatic rupture from blunt trauma.

          Diagnosis of diaphragmatic rupture is difficult, and delays could result in a catastrophic outcome. We reviewed our institution's management of patients with diaphragmatic rupture after blunt trauma. All patients in this study were treated at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Singapore, from March 2002 to October 2008. Patients with penetrating injuries were excluded. The parameters included age, mechanism of injury, haemodynamic status at admission, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score, injury severity score (ISS), imaging studies, location of diaphragmatic injuries, associated injuries and outcome. 14 patients with a median age of 38 years formed the study group. Vehicular-related incidents accounted for 71.4 percent of the injuries. The median GCS score on admission was 14 (range 3-15), while the median systolic blood pressure and heart rate were 94 (range 50-164) mmHg and 110 (range 76-140) beats per minute, respectively. The median ISS was 41 (range 14-66). All had chest radiographs performed in the emergency department, six (42.9 percent) had computed tomography performed before surgery, while the remaining eight (57.1 percent) were sent straight to the operating theatre from the emergency department. There were five (35.7 percent) right-sided and nine (64.3 percent) left-sided diaphragmatic ruptures. The mortality rate was 35.7 percent. Some of the associated injuries included eight (57.1 percent) splenic lacerations, five (35.7 percent) haemothorax and lung injuries, four (28.6 percent) bone fractures and three (21.4 percent) liver lacerations. 12 (85.7 percent) patients underwent repair of the diaphragmatic rupture using interrupted polypropylene suture, while the remaining two (14.3 percent) were too haemodynamically unstable to undergo definitive treatment. Advanced age, haemodynamic instability and raised ISS were associated with mortality. An accurate diagnosis of diaphragmatic rupture in trauma patients is difficult, and a thorough examination of both the hemidiaphragms is mandatory during emergency laparotomy for these patients. Those with more severe injuries and decreased physiological reserves usually fare worse.

              Hernia diafragmática traumática multivisceral: A propósito de 1 caso

              La hernia diafragmática constituye un problema infrecuente para el cirujano de trauma, y se necesita un alto índice de sospecha para su diagnóstico, especialmente en los casos de trauma cerrado. Se presenta un paciente operado por esta afección, luego de sufrir trauma cerrado torácico izquierdo, al que se le halla hernia diafragmática multivisceral, formada por colon transverso, bazo y epiplón mayor. Se hace referencia a los principales medios para llegar al diagnóstico, así como a los principios fundamentales para la reparación de estas lesiones Diaphragmatic hernia is an uncommon problem for the trauma surgeon and it is necessary a high index of suspicion for its diagnosis, specially in those cases of closed trauma. A patient operated on of multivisceral diaphragmatic hernia composed of transverse colon, spleen and greater omentum, after suffering from closed left thoracic trauma is presented. Reference is made to the main aids used to determine the diagnosis and to the fundamental principles considered to repair these lesions
