Overview
Surgical treatment
- The procedure must not be done unless the infant is stable.[1]
- Most of the operations are done through a subcostal incision.
- The repair can be done in one of two ways depending on its size:[2]
- Primary closure: it involves repairing the defect using non-absorbable sutures. It is used if the defect is relatively small.
- Patch closure: using a prosthetic or fascial patch to close the defect. It is useful especially with large defects but increases the risk of infection.
- Endoscopic procedures through the thorax or the abdomen have been reported to have lower mortality rates but have higher recurrence rates.[3]
- If CDH repair is associated with an abdominal wall defect, silo closure may be tried temporarily until the CDH is stabilized.[4]
