Abstract: This article reports a case of giant congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in an adult.Preoperative CT showed a diaphragmatic defect with herniation of the stomach, transverse colon, spleen, and left kidney into the thoracic cavity, and the left diaphragm had a large defect (10 cm×10 cm).The patient underwent laparoscopic mesh repair and diaphragmatic repair.Postoperative pleural effusion occurred and recovered after multidisciplinary treatment.During the one-year follow-up, the patient’s symptoms disappeared completely, and CT showed no recurrence or other complications.

Key words: laparoscopic surgery, giant diaphragmatic hernia, tension-free repair
