[Injuries of diaphragm in our group of patients.].
- Chirurgické oddelenie NsP Ruzinov, Bratislava.
In thoracic and abdomen surgeries the injury of diaphragm is often neglected. Clinical symptoms vary and in patients with polytrauma they are usually disguised. The authors analyze a group of 9 patients with polytrauma with the injury of diaphragm during a five-year period (from 1 September 1993 to 31 August 1998) specifying diagnostic possibilities and stressing the necessity to revise the diaphragm in laparotomy or thoracothomy for associated injuries. The prognosis of the injury is given by associated injuries. Key words: injury of diaphragm, polytraumatic patient.
