Rare hernia surgery in older kids: what works best?
NCT ID NCT07397793
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how children aged 1 month to 15 years with a late-diagnosed congenital diaphragmatic hernia (a hole in the muscle that separates the chest from the belly) do after surgery. Researchers reviewed 10 cases treated at one hospital with either keyhole or open surgery. The main goal is to see how many survive and breathe normally without distress after the operation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
surgical repair (laparoscopic, thoracoscopic, or open surgery)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help standardize surgical approaches for late-presenting congenital diaphragmatic hernia, improving survival and recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center review of only 10 patients, so results may not apply broadly. As an observational study, it cannot prove which surgical method is best.
