Eligibility for Phrenic Nerve Injury Surgery

Eligibility for Phrenic Nerve Treatment

At The Institute for Advanced Reconstruction, we treat patients with phrenic nerve injuries due to various causes. In order to qualify for treatment, patients must:

Have a diagnosis of elevated diaphragm or injured phrenic nerve resulting from trauma, COVID, surgery, and more
Be 65 years of age or younger — patients older than 65 will be sent for screening and, depending on the results, clinical review
Have a BMI of 30 or less

Injuries sustained more than five years ago will be screened and clinically reviewed as well.
