Overview
Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of [disease name].
OR
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with [disease name]. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either [indication 1], [indication 2], and [indication 3]
OR
The mainstay of treatment for [disease name] is medical therapy. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either [indication 1], [indication 2], and/or [indication 3].
OR
The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of [malignancy] at diagnosis.
OR
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for [disease or malignancy].
Indications
Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysi
- Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis . Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:[1]
- Dyspnea in strenous physical activity
- Underlying severe pulmonary disease
- [Indication 2]
- [Indication 3]
- The mainstay of treatment for [disease name] is medical therapy. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:
- [Indication 1]
- [Indication 2]
- [Indication 3]
Surgery
Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysi
- Surgical plication of the involved hemidiaphragm:[2][3]
- It is performed via thoracotomy, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or laparoscopy
- Creating folds in the hemidiaphragm and suturing them reduce mobilty of involved hemidiaphragm.
- Following surgery, the involved diaphragam does not paradoxically moved upward into the thorax during inspiration and ventilation will be improved in this way.
- The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of [malignancy] at diagnosis.
OR
- Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for [disease or malignancy].
