Diaphragm Plication: Evaluation and Technique.
Thoracic Surgery Clinics 2023 Februrary
Diaphragmatic paralysis is an elevation of the diaphragm caused by a lesion along the neuromuscular axis and may be either bilateral or unilateral. Most commonly, paralysis is unilateral and iatrogenic in nature. Symptoms of this disease may be life-limiting, and when conservative measures fail, surgical therapy may be of significant benefit to patients.
