Core Tip	Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an effective treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Delayed diaphragmatic hernia caused by RFA is uncommon; however, the best surgical approach to its treatment has not been determined. Herein, we present a rare case of delayed-onset diaphragmatic hernia due to RFA and its treatment with laparoscopic repair. This case highlights the ultimate importance of that RFA for HCC located close to the diaphragm should be performed using artificial ascites under computed tomography guidance to prevent an injury to the diaphragm. Laparoscopic treatment of iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia is effective and minimally invasive.
