Fetal surgery: Though babies with CDH need surgery, they are no longer rushed to the operating room right after birth.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a complex and challenging anomaly in which attention to every tiny detail is crucial to achieving the best outcomes. In this series, staff from the Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia present a full overview of CDH, the comprehensive care required to manage the condition, including fetal surgery, and the ongoing research that holds promise for affected babies. Comprehensive services range from prenatal evaluation and diagnosis to treatment, including invasive fetal therapy and open fetal surgery.
