Abstract

In this report the authors took all material found on KBC Zemun for period from 1968 to 1988 on 43 causes traumatic rupture of diaphragms treated on this clinic. On their own experience and taking the experience of the others the authors found that: Traumatic rupture of diaphragm is a consequence of thoracoabdominal compressive trauma, which it accompanies in 3% of cases. Any traumatic rupture of diaphragm is an acute surgical state which requires an urgent surgical treatment. No other treatment is justified. Radiological method is applied in diagnosing the traumatic rupture of diaphragm. The surgical operation ought to secure a good detection of accompanying injuries. They are surgically taken care of by breaking the communication between the two cavities and, by providing their proper drainage. The major factor causing this type of traumatism presents the traffic accidents. The death rate with these traumas is very high and largely depending on accompanying injuries, reaching 20.9% in the material that we studied.
