Bochdalek hernias are usually diagnosed in newborns. However, they can occur in adults. Few reports exist regarding robotic repair of such hernias. We present a case of a female patient with symptomatic Bochdalek hernia, including the spleen. Patient was successfully treated by robotic-assisted surgical mesh with the use of indocyanine green (ICG). An 80-year-old female patient presented with dyspnea, angina and intermittent abdominal pain. She had loss of appetite and 15-kg weight loss within 3 months. Past medical history was unremarkable. Imaging revealed a left Bochdalek hernia. The patient underwent robotic-assisted surgery; hernia contents included stomach, parts of colon, omentum and remarkably the spleen. Sac was dissected free. Patency of organs was assessed with ICG. Diaphragmatic defect was repaired with mesh. Bochdalek hernias should be surgically repaired. Minimally invasive therapy is safe and effective. Intraoperative ICG use can provide excellent results with favorable clinical outcomes.

We report the case of a four-month-old male infant diagnosed incidentally with bilateral congenital diaphragmatic hernias. Our patient was found to have chest asymmetry during an unrelated hospital visit and bilateral diaphragmatic defects were confirmed on cross-sectional imaging. Surgical repair of a right-sided Bochdalek hernia and a left-sided Morgagni hernia was performed with excellent outcomes.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze if the healthcare organization of perinatal care and availability of referral neonatal intensive care units (NICU) impacted congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) neonatal mortality in the period 2004-2020. This study analyzed the spatial distribution of neonatal deaths of live births with CDH in São Paulo State, Brazil, and its association with NICU beds' availability.
Methods: Population-based study of all live births in São Paulo State from mothers residing in the same State, from 2004 to 2020.

Bochdalek hernias (BHs), though rare, are the most common congenital diaphragmatic hernias. Their coexistence with an ectopic intrathoracic kidney (IK), found in 0.25% of cases, is even rarer.

Introduction: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in the preterm population is increasingly common in the current era of fetal endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) therapy. There remains a lack of clinical guidance for clinicians and surgeons regarding optimal management strategies for such infants. We aimed to describe our experience in managing preterm CDH in a single quaternary neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Background: The landscape of co-occurring birth defects among infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remains underexplored.
Aims: This study aims to elucidate the complex patterns of co-occurring defects in Chinese population.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed cases from the Chinese Birth Defects Monitoring Network (2007-2019) with CDH that presented along with at least one additional defect but without a syndromic diagnosis.
