A surgical intervention to close the diaphragmatic defect and return displaced organs to their proper abdominal position.
Key Facts
- The primary goal is to safely return displaced organs to the abdomen and suture the diaphragmatic defect.
- The procedure carries significant risk due to the diaphragm's essential role in the breathing mechanism.
- Veterinarians may need to resect or remove severely compromised or necrotic tissue during the operation.
- Pets that fully recover from the surgery typically experience an excellent long-term prognosis.
