Background and Aim: Congenital or acquired diaphragmatic hernias are both possible. The present study aimed to investigate the superiority of laparoscopic surgery over open repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernias with bioabsorbable mesh in congenital and acquired diaphragmatic hernia. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 7 diaphragmatic hernia cases in the General Surgery Unit of Federal Government Polyclinic Hospital, Islamabad from January 2015 to December 2022. Diaphragmatic hernia was diagnosed and confirmed on CT scan. Patients with Bochdalek hernia (BH), right-sided eventration of diaphragm, and left eventration of diaphragm (ED) cases were enrolled. Individual demographic details, clinical manifestations, hernia description, treatment modalities, and complications were recorded. Results: The overall mean age was 42 years with an age range 30-62 years. Of the total cases, there were 6 (85.7%) male and 1 (14.3%) female. The incidence of Bochdalek hernia (BH), left-sided ED, and right-sided ED was 2 (28.6%), 4 (57.1%), and 1 (14.3%) respectively. The major defect on left and right side was 15× 7 cm and 15× 8 cm respectively.
