Laparoscopic repair of bochdalek hernia in a 25yr old man

Bochdalek Hernia (BH) is a rare variety of Diaphragmatic hernia. It’s non- specific presentation delays its diagnosis and makes patient vulnerable to potential risk of complications. The presenting symptoms include Abdominal, 62 percent, Respiratory, 40 percent, Obstructive (vomiting/abdominal distension) 36 percent, Strangulation, 26 percent; 14 percent of them are asymptomatic. They are managed by surgical intervention; surgical approach involves laparotomy, thoracotomy, and combined thoraco-abdominal approach. However, Laparoscopy and Thoracoscopy have yielded promising results and better short term outcome. Here in, we present a case report of 25 yr old man presenting with intestinal obstruction without any chest symptoms managed successfully with Laparoscopic repair and mesh placement with a good result and short hospital stay associated with minimal morbidity and mortality.
