Diaphragmatic Hernia Repair

Diaphragmatic hernia repair is a surgical procedure performed to treat a condition where abdominal organs, such as the stomach or intestines, protrude through a hole or weakness in the diaphragm (the muscle separating the chest and abdomen). Serious side effects, such as breathing issues and organ strangling, can result from this herniation. The diaphragmatic defect is fixed during surgery, and the relocated organs are placed back in the abdomen where they belong. Repairing a diaphragmatic hernia is crucial for symptom relief and for averting subsequent health problems.
