Lung hernia after video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy clearly visualized by three-dimensional computed tomography.

Fig. 1. Computed tomography clearly demonstrated lung hernia of the right lower lobe through a chest wall defect at the site of a previous thoracoscopic surgery. At the previous thoracoscopic surgery, intercostal incision was closed with two interrupted sutures passing over the rib above the incision and through the rib below the incision, and three horizontal mattress interrupted sutures traversing the intercostal muscles above and below the incision.
