Topic overview
Intra-diaphragmatic extralobar pulmonary sequestration (IDEPS) is an extremely rare congenital lung malformation characterized by non-functional lung tissue within the diaphragm. Although surgical resection is frequently performed, management strategies vary significantly between centers and remain controversial due to difficulties in accurately locating the lesion intraoperatively and the absence of large case series.This retrospective multicenter study analyzes the experience in the treatment of IDEPS and compares the findings with those reported in the existing literature.
