Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in the Life journal invites medical professionals and researchers to share their insights and findings in this critical area of neonatology and prenatal medicine. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a complex condition with significant implications for fetal and neonatal health, characterized by a defect in the diaphragm that allows abdominal organs to herniate into the thoracic cavity, leading to pulmonary hypoplasia and respiratory distress.
This Special Issue seeks manuscripts that explore cutting-edge research in the prenatal diagnosis of CDH, including advancements in imaging techniques and genetic testing. We also encourage submissions on prenatal management strategies, innovative fetal interventions, and surgical techniques that can improve survival rates and long-term outcomes. Additionally, the issue will focus on neonatal management and the development of comprehensive care protocols to enhance rehabilitation and quality of life for affected infants.
By contributing to this Special Issue, researchers and clinicians can share valuable knowledge that may shape future diagnostic and treatment paradigms, ultimately improving patient outcomes. We welcome your expertise and insights to advance the understanding and management of congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
Dr. Przemysław Kosinski
Guest Editor
