Diaphragmatic plication
by happy feet, Sep 17, 2007 08:06AM
I have Phrenic Nerve Palsy and an elevated right hemidiaphragm. An extensive array of hospital checks/tests have ruled out other physical problems/contributors (a solid CPEX; other analytical tests, and confirmed paralysis on a sniff test). My pulminologist has now referred me to a cardiothoracic surgeon for a possible diaphragmatic plication. In layman's terms what does this procedure entail, and what are the expected benefits from the procedure. Thank you.
