How to treat diaphragmatic hernia

First, the treatment of this disease includes gastrointestinal decompression to reduce mediastinal displacement, replenishing body fluid, maintaining electrolyte acid-base balance, positive pressure assisted breathing and surgical repair of diaphragm defect. Surgical repair is the most fundamental treatment. Acute cases often need emergency repair of diaphragm. Thoracoscopic surgery can reduce trauma, increase patient tolerance and promote prognosis.

Second: traumatic diaphragmatic hernia: the patients with thoracoabdominal injuries have serious symptoms and are in urgent condition. In addition to the necessary emergency treatment, they should actively make preparations before operation, correct shock, deal with tension pneumothorax and make intercostal drainage in time. Tracheotomy should be performed in patients with dyspnea to control abnormal respiration of chest wall. Thoracotomy or exploratory laparotomy should be performed after the general condition is improved.

Third: congenital diaphragmatic hernia: once the diagnosis of congenital diaphragmatic hernia is clear, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible to avoid adhesion or intestinal obstruction or strangulation. The gastrointestinal decompression tube should be placed before the operation in order to prevent the severe ventilation dysfunction caused by the further compression of the lung during anesthesia and operation.
