• Abstract:

  Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a defect that affects newborns who have had a problem in the formation of the diaphragm. Several factors may contribute to mortality, including pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary hypoplasia. Prenatal diagnosis and size estimation can contribute to adequate surgical planning, using biocompatible mesh and with fewer complications, such as recurrences. Currently there are several screens, but few are used in newborns with this pathology. The study of the biocompatibility and the large number of available biomaterials and their properties, mainly of adhesions, led to the discussion of the creation of new techniques and screens with the properties of non-toxic, non-immunogenic, biocompatible and diligent in reducing postoperative adhesions. fulfilled.
