Bochdalek hernia is a rare congenital diaphragmatic hernia in adults. In most cases, there are no symptoms. Rarely, it requires surgical intervention. In cases with pain or visceral strangulation, laparatomy or laparoscopy are both possible. We present the case of an adult with a Bochdalek hernia. He was operated on via a thoracoscopic approach and had an uneventful recovery. We recommend the thoracoscopic approach as an alternative to open or laparoscopic approach in cases of noncomplicated Bochdalek's hernia.
