MoreIn the case of a severe diaphragmatic hernia, the newborn's chance of survival can be doubled.
MoreThe best way to complete the pregnancy is by natural childbirth.

MoreCDH is an anatomical abnormality that affects three very important systems for human life.
MoreThe risk of recurrence applies to all hernia cases, regardless of the size of the defect or the patch used.
