During the years 1965--1974, 125 cases of posterolateral diaphragmatic hernia have been operated at five departments of pediatric surgery in Sweden. The overall operative mortality was 50%. A follow-up investigation included 19 cases, where in 12 cases spirometry and in 11 cases studies of the mobility of the diaphragm were included. Physical examination revealed excellent results in most cases. Lung function studies, however, show a moderate (20--30%) reduction, which is not surprising with regard to lung hypoplasia and impaired movement of the diaphragm on the operated side. In adolescence and younger age, these patients are mostly in excellent condition; but later, when lung function is also reduced by the age factor, their neonatal condition may be of importance.
