Surgical management of diaphragmatic defects in the newborn infant: A report of twenty infants each less than one week old (1956–1961)

This is a preliminary report on experiences derived from the surgical management of twenty infants born with diaphragmatic defects, each less than one week old at the time of operation. The appropriate emergency preoperative management has been outlined. The surgical technique for closure of large and small diaphragmatic defects has been described briefly, and a more detailed emphasis has been given to the construction of an intentional ventral hernia. Finally, details of postoperative management of the gastrostomy and chest tube of parenteral fluid therapy and of oral alimentation in such patients have been presented briefly. Employing ventral hernia as an adjunctive procedure in the repair of diaphragmatic defects in infants less than one week old has shown that the mortality rate can be lowered significantly from seventy-five per cent, in comparable infants (Group I) in whom primary abdominal wall closure is achieved, to less than 16 per cent, in infants (Group II) in whom a ventral hernia is employed. The mortality rate of less than 16 per cent for the repair of congenital diaphragmatic defects in the newborn infants in Group II is believed to be the lowest reported to date in the literature and should be attributed in great measure to the utilization of ventral hernia.
