Could a Two-Staged Repair Be the Solution to the Dilemma of Repair Timing for Severe Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation?

Akiko YokoiKobe Children’s Hospital.Japan ChildrenChildren 2024; 11:DOI: 10.3390/children11101255 AbstractPurpose of review: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remains a significant challenge, particularly in severe cases with persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) and hypoplastic lungs and heart. For patients unresponsive to conventional therapies, ECMO is required. While the surgical repair is relatively simple, determining the optimal timing for surgery in patients
