Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The surgical management of congenital diaphragmatic hernias has traditionally been via laparotomy or thoracotomy. Although laparoscopic and thoracoscopic repairs have been described, most reports are in older infants. We describe a method for primary thoracoscopic repair applied in the immediate neonatal period when no posterolateral rim of diaphragm exists. This simple technique for placing the pericostal sutures is a useful adjunct in the thoracoscopic management of diaphragmatic hernias. |
