Surgical treatment of post-traumatic right-sided phrenic hernia is associated with certain technical difficulties due to topographic and anatomical features. Morbid obesity combined with diabetes mellitus type II is one of the main factors complicating any surgical thoracic or abdominal surgery and further rehabilitation. We report simultaneous surgery for complicated post-traumatic right-sided phrenic hernia in a patient with morbid obesity and diabetes mellitus type II. Surgical correction of giant phrenic hernia facilitated further effective treatment of morbid obesity and concomitant diabetes mellitus type II.

Successful Treatment of Idiopathic, Intractable Hiccups With Prescriptive Positive Pressure Ventilation-A Case Report.
AANA J
October 2024
Chief CRNA at HCA Houston Healthcare Northwest, Houston, Texas. Email:
A 65-year-old male patient presenting with idiopathic, intractable hiccups was to undergo bilateral thoracotomies for phrenic nerve stimulator placement but initially underwent a treatment utilizing the administration of prescriptive positive pressure ventilation as a less invasive treatment option and had successful resolution of hiccups. The patient's hiccups began after a prior hiatal hernia repair and was refractory to pharmacologic treatment and phrenic nerve blocks. Utilizing neuromuscular blockade for diaphragm paralysis and administering three vital capacity breaths to peak inspiratory pressures of 25 cm H2O via endotracheal tube, the patient had successful resolution of symptoms and further surgical intervention was not warranted.

It confers a high mortality and requires immediate surgical correction upon recognition. We present a case of cardiac herniation occurring post thymectomy and left upper lobectomy.

Rare Diaphragmatic Hernias in Adults-Experience of a Tertiary Center in Esophageal Surgery and Narrative Review of the Literature.

Faculty of Medicine, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 050474 Bucharest, Romania.
A rare entity of non-hiatal type transdiaphragmatic hernias, which must be clearly differentiated from paraoesophageal hernias, are the phrenic defects that bear the generic name of congenital hernias-Bochdalek hernia and Larey-Morgagni hernia, respectively. The etiological substrate is relatively simple: the presence of preformed anatomical openings, which either do or do not enable transit from the thoracic region to the abdominal region or, most often, vice versa, from the abdomen to the thorax, of various visceral elements (spleen, liver, stomach, colon, pancreas, etc.).

Article Synopsis
- * A study with 30 participants suffering from PCC revealed they had thicker vagus nerves and lower gastrointestinal activity compared to recovered and uninfected individuals, indicating significant nerve dysfunction.
- * Findings suggest that both vagus and phrenic nerve issues play a role in the symptoms of PCC, highlighting the complex nature of this post-viral syndrome.
