Abstract

CDH can be safely repaired in the neonatal period by thoracoscopy. The limiting factor for thoracoscopic CDH repair is PPHN. The best preoperative indicator for PPHN is OI. Prospective studies are nonetheless necessary to prove the effectiveness of using these risk factors as selection criteria to help design surgical management protocols for neonates presenting CDH.
