Diaphragmatic injuries, which can be seen after penetrating thoracic traumas, have some difficulties in diagnosis. Undiagnosed small diaphragmatic lacerations may lead to serious health problems. This study aims to evaluate the role of VATS (Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) in the diagnosis and treatment of diaphragmatic injuries after penetrating thoracic traumas.
