ABSTRACT
A congenital diaphragmatic hernia, which mainly occurs in the left thorax, requires an emergency operative procedure during the neonatal periods. A right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia is rare, and often detected after the neonatal period due to the mild symptoms. Traditionally, the treatment repairs the diaphragmatic defect via a thoracotomy. However, good results of thoracoscopic repairs have been reported. Herein, the case of a 5-month-old girl, who received a thoracoscopic repair of a right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia, is reported.
