Overview

Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either dyspnea in strenous physical activity and patients with underlying severe pulmonary disease. Surgical plication of the involved hemi diaphragm can be considered for unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis. surgery in bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis can be done via neurolysis and nerve grafting.

Indications

  • Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis . Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:[1][2]
    • Dyspnea in strenous physical activity
    • Underlying severe pulmonary disease

Surgery

Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis

  • Surgical plication of the involved hemidiaphragm:[3][4]
    • It is performed via thoracotomy, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or laparoscopy.
    • Creating folds in the hemidiaphragm and suturing them reduce mobilty of involved hemidiaphragm.
    • Following surgery, the involved diaphragam does not paradoxically moved upward into the thorax during inspiration and ventilation will be improved in this way.

bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis

Contraindications

Morbid obesity is contraindication to surgical plication[6]
