ABSTRACT
Weight gain is a frequent postoperative complication following a solid organ transplant which can be solved by bariatric surgery. The outcomes of bariatric surgery among patients with an organ transplant history are always a challengeable subject for surgeons and surgery candidates. In this review article, we aim to investigate the existence literature about the rates of morbidity and mortality, frequent complications in terms of graft function, remission in diabetes, hypertension, pulmonary and cardiovascular disorders, hepatic and renal functions, and immunosuppressive stability, as well as the safety of bariatric surgery among patients.
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is caused by a defect of diaphragm. The incidence of CDH is 1/3600 in new births in the US, causing pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension. In rare cases, the late presentation in adulthood is reported. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 31-year-old female with respiratory distress and gastrointestinal disease, diagnosed on X-ray chest and abdomen CT scan as CDH case, which was in left-sided diaphragm. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Left posterolateral thoracotomy was performed for this patient. The patient with late diaphragmatic hernias presentation had a variety of symptoms, but diagnosis was very difficult. CONCLUSION: In this super rare case, the patient had a mix of bariatric surgery complications such as excessive weight loss. Additional investigation and research are necessary to better detect this type of disease.
