What Repair of a laceration of the diaphragm by means of abdominal approach?

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.
