Awesome case study

Loved this so much!!!! Super interested in general surgery

Awesome! I'd definitely like more!

Dr. Buck, I appreciate you taking the time to make a video explaining this type of hernia. There isn't much information about them on the net. I was in a motorcycle accident a year and a half ago and broke all but the #1 and #12 rib on the left side and had to have 3 plated due to non-union 4 months later. I still deal with a lot of pain from nerve damage but am just finding out a month ago that I have a diaphragmatic hernia. I felt relieved because I thought that would help with the upper abdominal pain I've been dealing with from the very beginning, but after sitting down with my surgeon he seems to think this will not help with the pain because "there are not a lot of pain receptors around the diaphragm". But I have read abdominal pain can be associated with diaphragmatic hernias, plus you mentioned it as well. I'd appreciate if you could bring some clarity to this. Thanks in advance

Thank you so much for doing these! I've had a rare disorder and still have something else going on severely. No doctor is interested helping me figure it out because it's not simple. My state isn't good for medical care. I swear mines a hernia! I had one out of 3 EGDS done saying I had a sliding hernia and one emergency room doctor say he pushed it in (I did feel relief) but is not showing up on anything else for tests, so no help. It causes a vice grip pain and nausea so eating is almost impossible daily. Seeing videos like this help people like me have hope that there are good doctors that DO investigate rare happenings. Thanks for posting!

Finally having an appointment with a pain management doctor whatever that means. Do you have any ideas of what this could be. It comes and goes and when I press on my ribs they often move on that side. I wonder if it’s a slipping rib? Nothing is protruding though.

Question for the doctor. Can your diagram tear from lifting or over extending the muscle?

I was recently diagnosed with one of these hernias. It's a 8cm x 10cm hole, it contains spleen (totally rotated from normal position), small and big bowel, and also a piece of stomach. I'm having a surgery next week. Wish me luck, and wish my surgeon a very successful procedure. I am so so nervous.

First, I answer as many as possible. Second, I am under no obligation to answer any questions. Third, some I cannot answer due to lack of information. Fourth, I’ve spent thousands of hours and tens of thousands of dollars making free videos for people so they can understand these problems better. So I think I have done plenty.

Dr. Buck, for years i have had a sensitive pain around my xyphoid and a sense of diaphram contraction. I feel pain on touching the xyphoid area. Merely pointing towards the xyphoid, without actually touching the xyphoid surface skin, causes me pain. I virtualy feel pain as good as being touched.

I've been having issues with my abdomen , difficult breathing, walking, tachycardia and blueish skin upon walking, also severe pain at the sternum area, after 2 years I was told I have a diaphragmatic hernia and a duodenal ulcer.. question, do all diaphragmatic hernias require surgery? I'm having such a hard time breathing, walking just about anything..

What's a hemidiaphram, what are the possible causes and treatments?

Just finished that Jocko Willink Discipline Equals Freedom book, what did you think of it Doc?

Talk about your liver cases plz.

cool!!

Lovely…

I wish my surgeon was able to break up adhession on my sigmoid colon and not cut it . You obviosly experienced and knew what you were doing...

I had the surgery a month ago...part of my stomach, spleen and intestines were inside the chest, these organs were pull down through laparoscopy and the dr had to stich up 10 cm hole on the diaphragm without using any mesh. Still recovering, I can't really eat much tho. SPO2 n heart rate reading is much better before the surgery even though the left lung is not fully expanded.

If the case is not as severe (minimal tear in diaphragm and minimal amount of small bowel in chest cavity) is it possible to do this laparoscopically or would you still use the same approach?

Can you show us your hospital?

Thanks a lot for this video. I have recently been diagnosed with this condition.I was afraid I had inherited IPF from my dad. The CT revealed a large deformity due to herniated diaphragm,. Pressing up my right lung 8 cm. Waiting to find out what Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm will do. Did your patient get his/her lung capacity back? Mine is now down to 60 percent - an I love hiking. My deformity was caused from a car accident 10 years ago.

So I had a fall in December and started having respiratory distress most marked after eating and/or drinking in early March. The respiratory distress was eased and erased by laying down and by hanging in the pool in deep water. After 4 days straight of hanging in deep water in the pool, I have far less respiratory distress now but do still have discomfort on palpitation from my xyphoid process to my umbilicus. I have a GI appointment on Tuesday. Can't wait to find out the problem and have a solution! Any thoughts? Should I go to the emergency room? I have no fever or other signs of illness. I also had an episode about 2 weeks before the start of the shortness of breath where I was talking and breathed in at the same time and had pain in my xyphoid process when I would breath in only. It went away after a day.

I have to scrub into diaphragmatic hernias but not like this. I thought you were going to talk about Nissen Fundoplications.

I haven’t had trauma to my diaghfram but have had an elevated diaghfram and needed a plication…..9 months later My diafghram was elevated again and I needed a 2nd plication. 8 months later my diaghfram elevated again and tomorrow I will see my Thoracic surgeon tomorrow. Have you heard of this happening to someone?

What is the difference between hiatal hernia and diaphragm hernia? Thought they were the same thing

Hi, I am not able to breathe deeply or sigh as I have a suspected hiatial hernia.I belch a lot and have the feeling of something been stuck in the throat.I do have sccholiokyphosis and spine fractures.I am taking meal replacement drinks as I cannot eat normally.Yet these symptoms seem to go away when I am laid down,could it be that lying down pulls the hernia back to where it should be?

what is the most common case you do as a general surgeon?

I have a diaphragm hernia for a while. does this cause apain at the mid section of the back ear the kidney?

I currently have a diaphragmatic hernia. I was told its congenital (which is possible since my parents didn't have insurance so no insurance = no ultrasounds) BUT they didn't find it until I was in a car accident at 16 and the med student putting in my chest tube punctured it. I have no clue if it is truly congenital or not, I just know I still have it and I'm terrified it'll rupture at some point 😫

I've never heard of this before last night when I was diagnosed in the er. My stomach is completely inside the diaphram. I've been having chest pains, black stool, my heart races, and then slows. I am trying to find out how serious this is as a 37 year old female? I have an appointment March 6th to see a GI Dr.

I have pain in the epigastrum and breathing difficulties,i do have a hiatial hernia,can this cause a diaphragm hernia,it felt like something slid up through my diaghphram when this first started

I had some kind of a strain internally while hiking which resulted in respiratory distress for almost 3 years now. I was told i had a small hiatal hernia but i have no acid symptoms so the medication doesnt help. Ive been given no other treatment options but the pressure and pain in my abdomen and chest is horrible and i still feel like im suffocating. Where do I go for help? Ive seen a variety of doctors and no one is taking my condition seriously.

Can a lump in diaphragma area be cancer ? I felt a lump on a male family member today the lump is felt when he lays down. The lump is as big as bird egg does this mean it is early stage of hernia? I hope the bowels have not moved up in his chest ! I hope you answer my questions. Thanks

Can you do a video on your thoughts on doctors having tattoes?

Hi Dr. Buck, I was wondering if you can answer this question about a MCL sprain I sustained about 2 months ago. So I injured my knee while I was playing soccer. The next day of the injury I went to the ER and the Doctors made me get an X-ray and they found no fracture. They told me it was an MCL sprain, they didn't specify what grade. The Doctors also told me that I needed 2 weeks to fully recovered. Lol. It's been 12 weeks and my knee has improved but it still hurts when I do certain leg movements. I feel that in the moment I suffered the injury I also injured my medial meniscus but I don't know if it's true since I didn't get an MRI. What advice can you give me? On what to do next. Is there a like a test to check on myself for a meniscus injury? I just want to play soccer again

I have a diaphragmatic hernia and this sounds terrifying...

Question: once in a blue I will take a deep yawn and I would get a sharp pain from the diaphragm right dome straight to my right shoulder. Almost paralyzing for a few seconds. And it's been 3 years that I have a breathing problem like I'm starving for air. No Dr can figure it out

Today I breathed in a lil bit too hard ( I was smoking a joint tbh) and I felt a sudden flutter and spasm sensation in my left rib area. Scared the f outta me and was wondering if this had anything to do with it? I’ve been to the dr and he said I got neuralgia intercostal. I plan on doing another appointment.

I have a diaphragmatic hernia right now! (CDH, fixed at birth but i think it reopened) so now i have a consult appt to set up for surgery :P

Can anxiety cause diaphragmatic spasms? Where it feels like shortness of breath.

I literally just realized today (after my car accident that happened 3 years ago. & nearly I almost died).... that, um, basically I might have to go under surgery idk - I have to go for a full physical here once I’m out of this covid quarantine (because I came into direct contact w/ someone who tested positive through work)... anyways.... I’m 30 and I’m very strong 💪, I studied to be an MDRT but I’m not working in the field rn because when I was taking my practicum, I had to split from my abusive toxic ex bf, and it caused me a lot of stress... I’m a smoker, but I’ve quit before when I was pregnant at 19.. I’ll do it again when I’m not so stressed out due to my workload load right now ahhhh (Orchiid) pls pray for me 🙏🥺🙏

I once had an accident while wrestling and felt something tear inside of my abdomen on the left side, somwhere deep inside. Since then i have issues like, burning sensation while breathing in (left side) and lots of diapgrahm spasms, bloating, feeling full all the time, trouble burping. But whenever i tell a doctor about this issues they discard hernia as a possibility.

The cases are cool, but I kinda miss the car. I watch these on my way to med school and it motivates me. Question: Do gunners in med school get anywhere better, or do they end up in the same position? Damn some people just study like their lives depend on it, and I don't know if I'm willing to give up my existence to do that as well.

I have been trying to find out what’s wrong with me for 7 years!! I’m a professional singer and I twisted out of bed really quick one day and got a long what seemed and felt Like Charlie horse in my ribs/abdomen It finally went away after about 10 seconds. But I twisted again a week later and just kept getting these spasms in my side and abs. I’ve had every test done and I’ve found herniated discs in my back and I’ve had nerve blocks and everything but something still isn’t right. I feel like I can’t breath well, or rapidly, and it just feels like my side is going to cave in or something sometimes. I’m going to my doctor to talk to him about a diaphragm injury. I’ve read someone had gotten a diaphragm rupture from cross fit, rathe than blunt force or trauma. I find my instance was more of a twisting sports injury. I guess my question is, is that possible to tear your diaphragm very slightly from twisting rapidly and then live with it for 7 years undiagnosed? All the treatments I’ve been reading about terrify the hell out of me so any peace of mind would REALLY be appreciated! Thank you!
