This may involve removing part of the diaphragm or abnormal tissue, folding the diaphragm, or repairing the muscle. Repair may involve the phrenic nerve, the only receiver of neurologic impulse in the diaphragm. Whenever possible, the surgeons will minimize incision size and invasiveness so that the patient's hospital stay and recovery time are no longer than absolutely necessary.
An Update Regarding Seasonal Illnesses
To help prevent the spread of seasonal respiratory illnesses, we strongly encourage all visitors to wear a mask while in ambulatory clinics or inpatient units. Surgical masks are available at hospital and clinic entrances. Patients with respiratory illnesses should also wear masks. Thank you for helping protect our patients, staff, and community.
