title: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
abstract: Surgical intervention for congenital diaphragmatic hernia is urgent, but success depends more on preoperative and postoperative management of the associated physiologic derangements. Survival seems to depend on the condition of the lungs at birth. In the future, correction of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in utero may be possible.
