Right-Sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: Characterization, Utility of Prenatal Imaging Predictors and Outcomes

In brief

This study examines right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia, focusing on identifying the most reliable prenatal imaging markers for predicting infant survival. It compares surgical repair techniques and management approaches to determine optimal treatment strategies for this rare but serious congenital anomaly.

• Prenatal imaging predictors can accurately forecast survival in right-sided CDH, guiding counseling and delivery planning.
• Right-sided CDH has distinct prognostic factors compared to left-sided lesions; specialized assessment protocols are essential.
• Surgical repair technique selection impacts outcomes; evidence-based approach improves survival and reduces morbidity.
• Multidisciplinary prenatal and postnatal management strategies optimize outcomes for this rare but high-risk condition.
