Abstract

Surgical treatment of post-traumatic right-sided phrenic hernia is associated with certain technical difficulties due to topographic and anatomical features. Morbid obesity combined with diabetes mellitus type II is one of the main factors complicating any surgical thoracic or abdominal surgery and further rehabilitation. We report simultaneous surgery for complicated post-traumatic right-sided phrenic hernia in a patient with morbid obesity and diabetes mellitus type II. Surgical correction of giant phrenic hernia facilitated further effective treatment of morbid obesity and concomitant diabetes mellitus type II.
