Diaphragmatic hernia (DH) after a liver resection (LR) is an uncommon but potentially severe complication. In this retrospective study, we aim to share our experience with DH in our hepatic surgery center. We retrospectively analyzed 3107 patients who underwent a liver resection between January 2012 and September 2019.

An enterothorax with herniation of bowel segments through a diaphragmatic defect is a rare postoperative complication, which can occur in the early postoperative period as well as several months or even years after the primary procedure. In virtually all cases, this diagnosis requires surgical treatment with reposition of the herniated structures and closure of the diaphragmatic defect. The aim of this study was to describe a larger case series of a rare complication and to present a review of the literature.

Background: Due to the lack of symptoms an enterothorax frequently remains undetected in adults. Most symptomatic patients complain about bowel obstruction and a surgical repair of the diaphragmatic defect, particularly with a mesh, is mandatory.
Methods: This report presents the case of a 72-year-old female patient with a history of an upside-down stomach presenting with a painless jaundice and signs of liver cirrhosis.

In this paper we describe a case of a 71-year-old man affected by left hemidiaphragm agenesis who presented an extensive enterothorax after an asymptomatic history for many years. The patient had late development of severe constipation and occasional episodes of bowel obstruction and vomiting. The surgical correction of this congenital anomaly consisted of restoring the continuity of the diaphragmatic barrier with a 2-mm-thick expanded polytetrafluoroethylene soft tissue patch(Gore-Tex) after the herniated viscera have been replaced into the abdominal cavity.
