Abstract

Diaphragmatic eventration, both congenital and acquired, is defined as abnormal elevation of the diaphragm. We report 2 cases of adult symptomatic diaphragmatic eventration successfully treated by laparoscopic diaphragmatic resection with an endostaple. These cases were observed for more than 1 year with no complications or recurrence after surgery.
