Salem (Tamil Nadu) [India], December 31: A three-month-old baby was brought to Kauvery Hospital, Salem, with severe breathing difficulties, prompting immediate medical attention. Initially suspected to be pneumonia, the child was treated with antibiotics and monitored for two days. However, the breathing issue persisted, raising concerns among the hospital's pediatric team.

This rare congenital condition, known as a diaphragmatic hernia, is seldom seen and presents significant surgical challenges, especially in infants. Understanding the gravity of the situation, the hospital's experienced medical team, comprising Dr. Saravanan, Dr. Mohammed Fazil, and Dr. Vijayabhaskar, decided to proceed with immediate corrective surgery.

The surgery lasted 4.5 hours and required meticulous precision. The medical team successfully repositioned the child's stomach back into the abdominal cavity and repaired the diaphragmatic defect. Additionally, they addressed inflammation in the intestines, ensuring the infant's complete recovery.
