Introduction: This study compares various surgical approaches for treating congenital diaphragmatic eventration (CDE) in children to identify the most effective and safest method.
Methods: we conducted a retrospective analysis of a multicentric cohort of pediatric patients operated on for CDE between 2010 and 2021. The different surgical approaches, including robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS), and their outcomes were compared.

There are two types of diaphragmatic hernias, classified based on the location of herniation through the diaphragmatic defect.

Congenital absence of the left circumflex artery (CALCx) or an anomalous origin of the left circumflex artery from the right coronary artery is a unique anomaly in the literature that has been incidentally diagnosed with coronary angiography. CALCx is characterized by an angiographical absence of the left circumflex artery, with a super-dominant right coronary artery that provides the postero-lateral wall of the left ventricle. We present a review of the literature of a total of 52 CALCx cases reported so far including our case.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, UZ Leuven, KU, Leuven, Belgium.
Purpose: The surgical strategy for congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) repair remains debated and mainly depends on the training and preference of the surgeon. Our aim was to evaluate the occurrence and nature of surgical reinterventions within the first year of life, following repair through thoracotomy as compared to laparotomy.
Methods: This is a retrospective bi-centric cohort study comparing postero-lateral thoracotomy (n = 55) versus subcostal laparotomy (n = 62) for CDH repair (IRB: MP001882).
