Abstract: | When the diaphragm is excised so wiely that the defect cannot be closed directly during an operation on either thoracic or epigastric tumors, a reconstruction of the defect is necessary. We used harvested autologous fascia lata to reconstruct the diaphragm in a patient undergoing a pleuropneumonectomy with a partial diaphragmatic resection for malignant mesothelioma. |
