Abstract
SummaryDespite years of progress in perinatal care, severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remains a clinical challenge. Controversies include almost every facet of clinical care: the definition of severe CDH by prenatal and postnatal criteria, fetal surgical intervention, ventilator management, pulmonary hypertension management, use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, surgical considerations, and long-term follow-up. Breakthroughs are likely only possible by sharing of experience, collaboration between institutions and innovative therapies within well-designed multicenter clinical trials.
