A female patient N., 1968 year of birth with complaints of pain in the epigastrium of a pronounced nature, nausea, disposable vomiting, stomach and gas stasis, bloating was admitted to the Department of Abdominal and Endocrine Surgery of the Volyn Oblast Clinical Hospital. After a short-term training, surgical intervention-upper-middle laparotomy was performed. At the audit, a defect was detected in the retrosternal department of the diaphragm up to 7.0 cm in diameter, in which a large omentum was attached and partly (one wall) of the lumbar colon. A variety of diaphragmatic hernias are parasternal hernias that occur relatively rarely, ranging from 2 to 6 % of all diaphragmatic hernias. Parasternal hernias, in turn, are divided into retrocostosternal and retrosternal.
