Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a complex and challenging anomaly in which attention to every tiny detail is crucial to achieving the best outcomes.

Holly Hedrick, MD, and Scott Adzick, MD, from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia explain in great detail the surgical repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in newborns. Babies with CDH are extremely sensitive to noise and movement, so at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, CDH surgery takes place in the NICU, which gets turned into an operating room so your baby does not have to be transported to the OR. Here, the entire team — anesthesiologists, surgeons, nurses, and others — works together to perform this extremely delicate procedure.
