What this Trial Is About
Researchers are exploring patient experiences with phrenic nerve reconstructive surgery as a treatment for diaphragmatic paralysis. This study uses a grounded theory approach to understand the biopsychosocial aspects of surgical evaluation and outcomes. It focuses on how patients perceive and report their outcomes following this specific surgery. Participants in this observational study undergo phrenic nerve reconstructive surgery to treat diaphragmatic paralysis. The study does not involve additional treatments or interventions beyond the scheduled surgery. The evaluation centers on the surgerys impact from the patients perspectives before and after the procedure. Participants will be interviewed one week before and again 12 months after surgery using semi-structured interviews. These interviews aim to collect detailed information about their experiences and outcomes related to the surgery. The study follows participants for a full year after surgery to understand long-term effects and patient-reported outcomes.
