Thoracoscopic Plication for Bilateral Eventration of Diaphragm in a Neonate
A 6-day-old female baby delivered by Caeserean section was admitted for respiratory distress. On admission, the baby was tachypnoeic, respiratory rate more than 60/ min with cyanosis requiring oxygen of 8 l/min to maintain satisfactory O2 saturation. An X-ray chest and abdomen taken, was suggestive of bilateral eventration of diaphragm (Fig. 1). An USG and CT scan confirmed the diagnosis. The E...
متن کاملA preliminary report on the feasibility of single-port thoracoscopic surgery for diaphragm plication in the treatment of diaphragm eventration
INTRODUCTION Thoracoscopic surgery is a popular widely used surgical technique in the treatment of common chest conditions. Conventional thoracoscopic surgery utilizes multiple small wounds for carrying out the procedure. Many procedures can also be performed with a single small port wound. In this study, we performed diaphragm plication using the techniques of single-port thoracoscopic surgery...
متن کاملThoracoscopic diaphragm plication.
The diaphragm is grasped, and as much of the anterior diaphragm as possible is pulled into a retaining clamp. This maneuver is easier to perform for the right diaphragm than the left diaphragm, owing to the risk of incorporating viscera on the left. Upon initial placement of the clamp, it is evident that all of the diaphragm that would optimally be resected cannot occur in one application. This...
متن کاملEVENTRATION OF THE DIAPHRAGM: A 10- YEAR EXPERIENCE
Eventration of the diaphragm is a condition characterized by an attenuated but otherwise intact diaphragm. Twenty patients (age range: 2 days to 11 years) were treated for eventration of the diaphragm during a ten year period (19 85-1995). There were 11 girls and 9 boys with a mean gestational age of 37 weeks. 14 patients were born with cephalic presentation, 3 patients with breech deliver...
متن کاملKnotless suture allows for successful thoracoscopic diaphragm plication
Diaphragm paralysis can cause significant shortness of breath. This condition can be treated with diaphragm plication. We illustrate two cases where we used a knotless suture and total portal thoracoscopic technique to successfully plicate the diaphragm. A 70-year-old female with right-sided and a 44-year-old male with left-sided diaphragm paralysis. Both patients had a sniff test that showed p...
