We organize, the meeting “Congenital diaphragmatic hernia: more questions than answers!”, and it will be our pleasure to welcome you to Rome
on that occasion. Rome is a city that does not need any introduction, as History and Art will surprise you at every corner. The Meeting venue will be in the very heart of the City, walking distance from the Spanish Steps, within a neighborhood offering a wide variety of hotels of different categories. The meeting will be held under the guidance of the CDH Study Group and in collaboration with the CDH EURO Consortium. The contents will touch upon
the most debated aspects of CDH including pathogenesis, prenatal treatment, ECMO, definition of stabilization, surgical treatment, and outcomes. In the form of invited lectures and pro/con debates, controversial issues will be discussed.
Abstracts will be accepted for poster presentations and a limited number will be
considered for oral presentation.
