Overview

Overview

Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia apparently was described by Sennertus, who in 1541 reported an instance of delayed herniation of viscera through an injured diaphragm.[1] Ambroise Paré, in 1579, described the first case of diaphragmatic rupture diagnosed at autopsy. The first successful diaphragmatic repair was reported by Riolfi in 1886 in a patient with omental prolapse, and Naumann in 1888 repaired the defect with herniated stomach.
