Abstract
Surgery for an elevated diaphragm in adults is indicated only for patients with related severe dyspnea, orthopnea, or gastrointestinal problems. Experience in surgically treating eventration in adulthood is limited. Currently, diaphragmatic plication is the most frequently employed technique and should be attempted with minimally invasive approaches. Herein, we report 3 cases of diaphragmatic eventration managed through uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery stapled resection. These successful attempts provide a technically simple and feasible alternative for the management of diaphragmatic eventration.
