52 8 Summary The influence of defect size and surgical technique on the long-term morbidity of children with congenital diaphragmatic hernia Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of diaphragm reconstruction using a synthetic non-absorbable patch from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Gore-Tex) and primary repair of diaphragm defects on the long-term morbidity in children after surgery of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), with a primary interest in the influence of these techniques on the occurrence of skeletal deformities and the development of pulmonary functions. One part of this study is to introduce a new objective method for perioperative evaluation of the size of diaphragmatic defects to enable comparison of results among various centres and methods used for diaphragmatic reconstruction. Another part of this study is to evaluate the validity of lung function assessment using four unique methods of Infant Pulmonary Function Tests (IPFT) in children under 13 kg of body weight. Material and Methods: A study of 69 patients operated on between 1996-2010 for CDH, in which the clinical part of the study was performed between the years 2009-2011. The clinical study evaluated anthropometric examination, pulmonary function testing and a questionnaire study which focused on long-term...
