Article Synopsis
- Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) mainly affects children but can also occur in adults, and there is limited research on surgical outcomes for adults with this condition.
- Analysis of a national database highlighted the demographics and postoperative outcomes of 110 adults with CDH who underwent surgical repair, comparing open versus minimally invasive (MIS) techniques.
- Results showed similar complication rates and no mortality between surgical approaches, but patients undergoing open repair had longer hospital stays, while MIS often utilized mesh in repairs.
- Further studies are suggested to better understand adult CDH cases and surgical outcomes.
