| Abstract: | A technique of closing large congenital diaphragmatic hernial defects without significant tension is described. Suggested advantages are: the simplicity of the technique; minimising the adverse effects of surgical repair on lung compliance; maintenance of the dome shape of the diaphragm, thus sparing intra-abdominal volume; and improved cosmetic results in the long term. |
