Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and Diaphragmatic Eventration.
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia can be approached successfully using minimally invasive techniques. Although there are may be a suggestion of higher recurrence rates with thoracoscopic repair, this may be due to the learning curve. However, open repair is associated with additional morbidity, most notably an increased rate of small bowel obstruction. Appropriate patients who have congenital diaphragmatic hernia should be offered the benefits of minimally invasive repair.
