Current surgical management of congenital diaphragmatic hernia: a report from the Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Study Group.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) has changed from an emergent procedure to a delayed procedure in the last decade. Many other aspects of management have also evolved since the first successful repair. However, most reports are from single institutions. The lack of a large multicenter database has hampered progress in the management of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and makes determination of the current standard difficult. METHODS The CDH study group was formed in 1995 to collect data from multiple institutions in North America, Europe, and Australia. Participating centers completed a registry form on all live-born infants with CDH during 1995 and 1996. Demographic information, data about surgical management, and outcome were collected for all patients. RESULTS Sixty-two centers participated, with 461 patients entered. Overall survival was 280 of 442 patients (63%) where survival was recorded. The defect was left-sided in 78%, right-sided in 21%, and bilateral in 1%. A subcostal approach was used in 91% of patients, with pleural drainage used in 76%. A patch of some kind was used in just over half (51%) of the patients, with polytetrafluoroethylene being the most commonly used material (81%) in those patients with a patch. The mean surgical time was 102 minutes, with an average blood loss of 14 mL (range, 0 to 500 mL). The overwhelming majority of patients underwent repair between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM (289 of 329, 88%). Nineteen percent of patients had surgical repair on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at a mean time of 170 hours into the ECMO course (range, 10 to 593 hours). The mean age at surgery in patients not treated with ECMO was 73 hours (range, 1 to 445 hours). CONCLUSIONS The multicenter nature of this report makes it a snapshot of current management. The data would indicate that prosthetic patching of the defect has become common, that after-hours repair is infrequent, and that delayed surgical repair has become the preferred approach in many centers. Furthermore, the mean survival rate of 63% indicates that despite decades of individual effort, the CDH problem is far from solved. This highlights the need for a centralized database and cooperative multicenter studies in the future.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare condition. The reported incidence of intrathoracic renal ectopia due to CDH is also rare. A right-sided thoracic kidney is much less common due to the location of the liver. Isolated intrathoracic kidney is usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on chest imaging. The authors report on a 21days old female infant with late-presenting right ...
