Acquired right-sided diaphragmatic hernia after pediatric living donor transplantation: a guide for the non-transplant pediatric surgeon
Acquired diaphragmatic hernia is a rare complication of pLDLT, that mostly occurs in the long-term postoperative follow-up. Accurate knowledge of the surgical site is crucial to assure assessment and management in absence of the transplant-team. With this retrospective analysis we aim to enhance focus on post-liver-transplant complications and offer a guide for the non-transplant pediatric surgeon to raise awareness to post-operative anatomical alterations in these patients.
