Abstract

A pulmonary hernia is a protrusion of the lung through a defect in the surrounding tissues, a rather rare pathology and each clinical case is of scientific interest. The first description of this rare pathology was performed by Roland in 1499. About 300 observations have been described in the world literature, most of the publications are isolated cases of observation of this pathology. We have presented the first experience of thoracoscopic hernioplasty in the Russian Federation for intercostal pulmonary hernia, and also summarized the literature data on this topic.
