Diaphragmatic Hernia Repair is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing a hernia in the diaphragm, which can cause the stomach, intestines, or other abdominal organs to protrude into the chest cavity.
This surgery is often required for congenital diaphragmatic hernias or traumatic injuries. The procedure involves repositioning the herniated organs and repairing the defect in the diaphragm using sutures or mesh.
Postoperative care focuses on managing pain, respiratory monitoring, and preventing complications like infection or pneumonia. In some cases, patients may require a ventilator or oxygen support immediately following surgery.
Diaphragmatic hernia repair is essential for patients with severe symptoms or life-threatening complications. This surgery restores normal organ function and improves the patient’s overall health.
