An incomplete<br>diaphragmatic silhouette, gas-filled small intestine and pleural effusion in the thoracic cavity were revealed in<br>radiographs, implying a diaphragmatic hernia. After laparotomy, the abdominal structures were gently retrieved into<br>the abdomen and a defect of 2 </span><span class="fontstyle2">× </span><span class="fontstyle0">7 cm</span><span class="fontstyle0">2 </span><span class="fontstyle0">was found. The transverse colon was used as an autologous tissue flap for the<br>repair of the defect. There were no complications identified for 2 years after surgery. Thus, patching with the transverse<br>colon can be considered as an alternative for treating a defect in patients with a diaphragmatic hernia.</span> </p>}, number={3}, journal={The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine}, author={Kim, Dongwook and Kim, Gonhyung}, year={2020}, month={Sep.}, pages={445–449} }
