Congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair analysis in relation to postoperative abdominal compartment syndrome and delayed abdominal closure.

ACS/DAC after CDH repair are reported more frequently in neonates (112/118; 94.9%). There is no clear rationale stated behind the decision to perform DAC, with the silo being the preferred approach. Criteria need to be worked for DAC in CDH with large herniated content and small volume abdomen to prevent ACS.
