Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is associated with a poor prognosis in spite of advances in antenatal detection and newborn care. Open fetal surgery has been suggested as a strategy for salvaging selected fetuses at high risk for pulmonary hypoplasia as a result of this lesion. We report a strategy for palliative fetal surgery with definitive repair postponed to the newborn period.
