Treatment Options for Paralyzed Diaphragm
Lung Health | Last Active: Mar 18 8:18am | Replies (15)Comment receiving replies
The left side of my diaphragm paralyzed after a blood clot went thru my lungs and heart ! I almost killed me !
I had surgery that flopped the left side of my diaphragm off my left lung and then stitched it back back and forth !
I didn't begin have breathing problems for quite awhile after the surgery, but now I'm really short of breath ! I can't do anything that I'm short of breath !
I have an appointment with a vascular thoracic surgeon in a couple of weeks !
I hope he has some answers for me !

I wanted to mention one other thing. When I had my videoconference with the top plication surgery expert in the country, I asked him about the failure rate. He told me that when plication surgeries failed, it was most often in patients with previous spine issues. I don't know if that pertains to you, but it may play a factor.

Where did you have diaphragmatic Plication and was it robotic or conventional? I am facing surgery and I can’t find people who have had it done and where and who did it. I’d appreciate your input.
Thank you Toby77
