Abstract
PURPOSE: Unilateral phrenic nerve injury often results in symptomatic hemi-diaphragm paralysis and currently few treatment options exist. Reported etiologies include: cardiac surgery, neck surgery, chiropractic manipulation, and interscalene nerve blocks. Although diaphragmatic plication has been an option for treatment, the ideal treatment would be restoration of function to the paralyzed hemi-diaphragm. The application of peripheral nerve surgery techniques for phrenic nerve injuries has not been adequately evaluated.
