BELTRAN, Marcelo A. Delayed presentation of diaphragmatic hernia with gastric necrosis: literature review. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2013, vol.28, n.1, pp.54-63. ISSN 2011-7582.

Complicated diaphragmatic hernia with delayed presentation constitutes a surgical emergency due to ischemia and eventual necrosis and gangrene of the herniated organs. The organs or structures at greater risk of complications are colon, stomach, spleen, greater omentum, and small bowel. Gastric necrosis and gangrene are secondary to the twisting and strangulation of the stomach inside the hernia sac, constituting a severe and potentially lethal complication. This article reviews and briefly resumes the current relevant literature on the clinical and radiological diagnosis and the treatment of gastric necrosis as complication of diaphragmatic hernia with delayed presentation.
