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.
