Professor Bochdalek and his hernia: then and now
Abstract
An account is given of Professor V.A. Bochdalek's life, and special consideration is given to his work on the pathological anatomy of the diaphragmatic hernia which bears his name. The development of the management of congenital diaphragmatic hernias since 1946, when Robert Gross performed the first successful operation on this condition, is briefly outlined.
