  • Abstract
    Unilateral diaphragmatic eventration and paralysis require plication in cases of progressive dyspnea on exertion and recurrent respiratory infection. The patient, a 40-year-old woman, who had complained of worsening dyspnea on exertion and elevation of the left diaphragm on chest radiographs for 4 years, underwent plication by thoracoscopy with knifeless endostaplers. Improvements in pulmonary functions and dyspnea on exertion have been maintained for 14 months.
