Preoperative Botulinum Toxin for Complex Diaphragmatic Paralysis: A Case Series
Preoperative BTX-A appears to be safe and well-tolerated in complex diaphragmatic paralysis. The results suggest that BTX-A may reduce complications, improve functional outcomes, enhance respiratory function, and increase quality of life, with effects maintained for at least 1 year in most patients.
