contracts means to come together or to close. Try breathing. Does your diaphragm get smaller when you inhale or exhale? ********************************************************** Hint: it contracts when you inhale..
Repair of a laceration of the diaphragm via an abdominal approach typically involves an incision in the abdominal wall to access the diaphragm directly. The surgeon identifies the laceration, debrides any damaged tissue, and then sutures the torn edges of the diaphragm together to restore its integrity. In some cases, a patch may be used if the laceration is extensive. This approach allows for direct visualization and handling of the diaphragm, facilitating effective repair and minimizing complications.

Pleuralgia or pleurodynia is pain in the pleura, the double membrane that covers the lungs.
In an X-ray report, the phrase "diaphragm and sinuses are preserved" indicates that these structures appear normal and intact without any signs of abnormalities or disease. The diaphragm, a muscle crucial for breathing, and the sinuses, which are air-filled cavities in the skull, are functioning as expected. This finding generally suggests that there are no obvious issues in those areas.
