Overview
Surgery
Since the diaphragm is in constant motion with respiration, and because it is under tension, lacerations will not heal on their own.[1] Surgery is needed to repair a torn diaphragm.[2] Most of the time, the injury is repaired during laparotomy.[3] Other injuries, such as hemothorax, may present a more immediate threat and may need to be treated first if they accompany diaphragmatic rupture.[4] Video-assisted thoracoscopy may be used.[5]
