Abstract

A 40-year-old woman underwent plication by video-assisted thoracoscopy for left diaphragmatic eventration. Normalization in the position of the left diaphragm and a marked improvement in the left lung expansion were identified on the chest X-ray. This technique offers the patients many advantages of the minimally invasive operation.

좌측 횡격막 거상증을 가진 40세 여자 환자에게 흉강경을 이용하여 횡격막 주름성형술을 시행하였다. 술후 흉부 X선 사진에서 좌측 횡격막의 하강과 좌측폐의 팽창을 확인할 수 있었다. 횡격막 거상증 환자에게 흉강경을 이용하여 수술하면 최소 침습적 수술이 갖는 여러 장점을 환자에게 제공할 수 있다.
