Core Tip

Core Tip: Bochdalek hernia in adults is rare, especially on the right side. We report an extremely rare case of an adult with a right-sided Bochdalek hernia in which the left lobe of the liver protruded into the right thoracic cavity. We successfully performed a combined laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery for an adult right-sided Bochdalek hernia with massive liver prolapse and abnormal liver morphology. The combination of laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery enabled safe surgery. To our knowledge, no such cases have ever been reported previously.
