PANEL DISCUSSION DESCRIPTION
Although not seen daily, a case with a diaphragmatic hernia can be challenging, either as an acute emergency or as a chronic compromised patient that needs attention. Diaphragmatic hernias can be congenital or acquired, typically resulting from trauma. A congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a developmental defect leading to respiratory distress in neonates, with significant morbidity and mortality despite advancements in care. Acquired diaphragmatic hernia can present variably, from mild symptoms to life-threatening complications like intestinal incarceration and strangulation, necessitating prompt surgical intervention. Diagnostic imaging, sometimes including computed tomography scans, is crucial for both types, and treatment involves stabilisation followed by surgical repair, sometimes utilizing minimally invasive techniques or mesh reinforcement for large defects.
Join our international world-renowned multidisciplinary panel of specialists as we discuss and debate identifying the diaphragmatic hernia, evaluating the patient, and implementing an appropriate interprofessional approach when managing this condition. We will explore the concerns regarding safe anaesthesia after stabilisation, optimal ventilation techniques and the range of surgical options and techniques. We will then delve into how to mitigate the potential complications and what to expect in the post-operative period.
Join us for what promises to be an in-depth fascinating panel discussion which will include real cases where questions will be welcomed.
