Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to be a disease of global importance, with an increasing array of sequelae attributed to infection by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2. One such complication that has been rarely documented thus far is diaphragmatic dysfunction. Here, we report the cases of 2 individuals who developed diaphragmatic paralysis post COVID-19, which failed to respond to conservative management. Both patients proceeded to undergo robot-assisted thoracoscopic plication of the diaphragm reinforced with a bovine acellular dermal matrix. In both cases, there was significant improvement in symptomatology, namely dyspnoea and fatigue. We conclude that robot-assisted diaphragmatic plication should be considered for the treatment of refractory diaphragmatic paralysis post COVID-19.
