Polytrauma is a critical emergency with a high mortality rate ranging from 20 to 70 percent without prompt intervention[8]. It usually occurs in high-energy impacts, especially in traffic accidents, falls from heights, and other fall-related injuries[8]. The combination of polytrauma with traumatic diaphragmatic hernia and pelvic and acetabular fractures represents a particularly complex case that complicates clinical treatment, prolongs its duration, and leads to significantly increased mortality and disability[8]. Minimally invasive surgery, including robotic-assisted procedures, appears to be a promising approach to improve treatment outcomes in these patients[8]. Integrating standardized trauma treatment protocols with minimally invasive techniques can increase patient survival and promote early functional recovery[8].
