A Multidisciplinary Approach to Manage of a Recurrent Congenial Diaphragmatic Hernia; A Case Report

Abstract

Recurrent congenial diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) causes challenging conditions. In spite of several advantageous of laparoscopic surgery, this method is associated with the higher risk of recurrence. We described a three- month infant with a recurrent CDH following a successful laparoscopic repair. First, he did not have any specific symptoms and was at a high risk of misdiagnosis. He underwent an emergency surgery with proper surgical and anesthesia management. In order to achieve desired goals in CDH recurrence cases, an early diagnosis, urgent intervention, and a constant communication between the surgeon and the anesthesiologist are crucial. The parents should also be informed about the potential risks of recurrence after even a successful surgical repair.
