description

Highlights • Diaphragmatic injuries are rare complications from trauma. • Bilateral diaphragmatic injuries are extremely rare and just a few cases are reported. • Sometimes the diagnosis is delayed or even missed. • Both primary repair or mesh repair are safe and feasible. • The use of a polypropylene mesh with titanized surface has not been attempted before.
