In this cohort, over one-third of CDH were closed using patches. To date, 19 patch types/variations have been employed for CDH closure. GTX is the most popular, employed in over 60% of patients; however, excluding smaller cohorts (n<20), GTX/Marlex is associated with the lowest recurrence rate (3.6%). SNOR was the material type least associated with recurrence, while NSR experienced recurrence in every instance.
