case_images: Coronal, sagittal, and axial section image of computed tomography showing large anterior diaphragmatic defect with herniation of transverse colon in thoracic cavity. (a,c) demonstrating the protrusion of the transverse colon into the thoracic cavity, passing anterior to the liver. (b) Sagittal section, (d) Axial Section demonstrating the colonic relationship to the heart

case_images: The 8-mm robotic camera port was placed at the level of the umbilicus and the two 8-mm working ports were placed in line to the camera port on the left and the right sides [Figure 2]. Upon entering the abdomen, we observed a large defect in the anterior diaphragm in the midline, which spontaneously reduced its contents [Figure 2].
