Preventive diaphragmatic plication during phrenic nerve resection appears to support postoperative pulmonary function.
In subgroup analysis, plication showed significantly smaller changes in diaphragmatic displacement ratio postoperatively.
Patients undergoing left lobectomy with plication experienced less decline in forced vital capacity and expiratory volume.
The small sample size emphasizes the need for caution in interpreting the findings and calls for further research.
