• Resumen

  • Surgical management of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remains a challenge for all clinicians. While the treatment strategies for CDH have evolved from emergent surgical intervention to initial hemodynamic stabilization with delayed surgical repair, surgical innovations have remained limited in the last 20 years. Advances in surgical approaches, such as minimally invasive surgery and alternatives to diaphragmatic replacement, have focused on improvements in surgical morbidity.
