Thoracoscopic Plication for Bilateral Eventration of Diaphragm in a Neonate
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 ECHO done was normal.

A 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 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 کاملThoracoscopic diaphragm plication in children and indications for conversion to open thoracotomy.
Thoracoscopic plication of the diaphragm has been recently described as an alternative treatment for eventration. It is considered to be much less traumatic than the conventional method. We attempted thoracoscopic diaphragm plication on three patients. Two patients were treated successfully by the minimally invasive technique and were discharged from hospital on the second postoperative day. In...
متن کاملSurgical Outcomes of Pneumatic Compression Using Carbon Dioxide Gas in Thoracoscopic Diaphragmatic Plication
BACKGROUND Surgical correction needs to be considered when diaphragm eventration leads to impaired ventilation and respiratory muscle fatigue. Plication to sufficiently tense the diaphragm by VATS is not as easy to achieve as plication by open surgery. We used pneumatic compression with carbon dioxide (CO2) gas in thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication and evaluated feasibility and efficacy. M...
متن کاملOpen Transthoracic Plication of the Diaphragm for Unilateral Diaphragmatic Eventration in Infants and Children
BACKGROUND To evaluate our experience of early surgical plication for diaphragmatic eventration (DE) in infancy and childhood. METHODS This study evaluated infants and children with symptomatic DE who underwent plication through an open transthoracic approach in our childhood development department between January 2005 and December 2012. Surgical plication was performed in several rows using ...
