Outcome of right-sided diaphragmatic hernia repair: a multicentre study.

Aim: Right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (R-CDH) occurs in 14 to 25% of all CDH cases. The current literature comparing the outcome of R-CDH vs left CDH (L-CDH) is inconsistent, with some studies reporting higher and others lower mortality in R-CDH compared to L-CDH. The aim of our multicentre study was to analyse characteristics and outcome of R-CDH.
