Robotic Repair of a Missed Traumatic Diaphragmatic Injury in a Prior Gastric Bypass Patient With Herniation of the Gastric Remnant.

Traumatic diaphragmatic injuries following blunt or penetrating trauma have a low incidence rate. Symptoms can be obscured by distracting injuries or, in some cases, patients can be asymptomatic, making diagnosis difficult. A 57-year-old female who underwent a robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with a hiatal hernia repair in 2021, presented as an alerted trauma in February 2024 following a motor vehicle accident (MVA).
