Résumé

In appropriately selected patients diaphragm plication improves quality of life by alleviating dyspnea and allowing patients to return to their routine activities. Many plication techniques exist, but the optimal surgical approach remains unclear. We report our experience with a minimally invasive radial diaphragm plication technique. It offers 2 distinct advantages: (1) suture placement avoids the phrenic nerve fibers, allowing for potential nerve recovery, and (2) the interrupted radial sutures improve the distribution of tension along the flaccid muscle and may achieve a more durable repair.
