Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Radiological examination for diagnosis of diaphragmatic paralysis and the changes post surgical diaphragmatic plication for the management of unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis.
Time Frame: Chest X-ray was done before operation; and follow up at one week and 6 months postoperatively, through study completion, an average of 1 year.
The radiological investigation included; chest X-ray.
Respiratory functions test for evaluation of the changes post surgical diaphragmatic plication for the management of unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis.
Time Frame: Spirometry was done before operation; and follow up at one week and 6 months postoperatively, through study completion, an average of 1 year .
Spirometry was done (FEV1 in %, FVC in %, FEV1/FVC in %).
Secondary Outcomes
- Evaluation of the efficacy of surgical diaphragmatic plication and its effect on improving patients' symptoms.(the data were collected preoperatively as a baseline; one week and 6 months postoperatively.)
