Abstract
Laparoscopic repair of congenital diaphragmatic defects using prosthetic material is possible although the operative time required is around 3.5 hours. Because of the brief postoperative course, the laparoscopic approach appears justified in the nonneonatal patients. Whether this approach is appropriate for repair of neonatal Bochdalek hernias remains unclear.
