Description
Summary:	A 61-year-old male patient with bilateral lung transplantation was admitted to the outpatient clinic with increasing respiratory distress for a month. Bilateral diaphragm eventration was observed in his examinations. Bilateral diaphragm plication was successfully performed abdominally in the patient who had a complaint despite supportive treatment. The respiratory capacity of the patient returned to normal. The abdominal approach may be a good alternative option in cases where intrathoracic surgery cannot be performed due to adhesions in patients with eventration after lung transplantation.
