The mean operative duration was 141.2\u2009\u00b1\u200955.4\u2005min. The mean duration of ventilator support was 8.39 days, and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 17.4 days. No conversion occurred intraoperatively. Postoperative chest radiography and upper gastrointestinal contrast study confirmed normal positioning of the abdominal organs in all patients. One death occurred due to treatment abandonment, and the remaining 17 children recovered favorably.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The use of an endo fascial closure device for diaphragmatic suture under thoracoscopy represents a simple, novel, and easily reproducible technique. This method may potentially improve suturing efficiency and facilitate the management of large diaphragmatic defects, although its advantages over conventional techniques require validation in
