Diaphragmotomy

Diaphragmotomy is a surgical operation that involves cutting the diaphragm to remove a tumor or other pathologies. The diaphragm is the muscle tissue that separates the chest cavity and abdominal cavity. It consists of two layers: upper (esophageal) and lower (gastric).

Diaphragmotomy can be performed both for cancer and for injuries or other pathologies. For example, in case of cancer of the esophagus or stomach, when the tumor is on the surface of the diaphragm, surgical removal of the tumor along with part of the diaphragm is performed.

Diaphragmotomy may also be performed for traumatic injuries such as tears or ruptures of the diaphragm. In this case, the surgeon removes the damaged areas of the diaphragm and restores its integrity.

The diaphragmotomy procedure can be performed either laparoscopically or through open surgery. The laparoscopic method is less invasive and less traumatic for the patient. However, it is not suitable for all cases.

In any case, the diaphragmotomy procedure requires a highly qualified surgeon and careful preparation of the patient. After surgery, the patient may experience discomfort and pain and may require pain relief. Also, after surgery, you must follow certain restrictions and doctor’s recommendations.

Thus, diaphragmotomy is an important procedure in the treatment of tumors and injuries of the diaphragm. It allows you to remove the pathological area and restore the integrity of the diaphragm.

Diaphragmamotomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting the muscles and nerves of the diaphragm. This treatment method is used for various diseases of the diaphragm, such as diseases of the esophagus, gallbladder, liver, pancreas and other organs.

The diaphragm occupies a central place in the respiratory system - it separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity and is involved in the act of breathing. With various pathologies of the diaphragm, the functions of organs located in the abdominal cavity are disrupted, this can cause serious illness. Today, in medical practice, there are cases where successful treatment of diseases of the diaphragm was not possible without performing a diaphragmotomy. Depending on which particular diaphragm muscle is needed for treatment, the appropriate diaphragmotomy method is selected: pneumopericardiography, chemurgical treatment, posterolateral, anterolateral and other techniques. The main purpose of diaphragmotomy is to restore the correct anatomical location of all structures of the diaphragm and the abdominal cavity as a whole, which is necessary to eliminate dysfunctions associated with diseases of the esophagus. After treatment, patients can no longer be considered disabled, as was the case before. Modern diagnostic and treatment methods make it possible to cure various diseases of the diaphragm without surgery, but in severe cases, surgery cannot be avoided, fortunately. Diaphragmotomy surgery is used primarily in gynecology and urology. Medical procedures allow the patient to get rid of serious complications that can lead to failure of the gastrointestinal tract. This is due to a violation of their innervation and blood circulation. But the use of surgical correction methods may also be ineffective, so patients should follow disease prevention measures. We are talking about timely diagnosis of the disease and treatment of diseases in the early stages of their development. If signs of the disease appear, there is no need to delay a visit to the doctor, otherwise treatment is only possible through surgery.
