The Diaphragm Center is dedicated to all patients suffering from severe shortness of breath due to a paralyzed diaphragm.<\/p>\n
To be eligible for treatment at the Diaphragm Center, a referral from a medical specialist, preferably your pulmonologist, is required. Your medical specialist sends the referral to the Diaphragm Center for assessment. The review is completely non-binding; there is no charge for this.<\/p>\n
It’s important for you to understand how the surgery works and what the consequences are for you after the surgery, so you can make an informed decision about whether or not you want to undergo surgery.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there is a waiting list for this surgical method. The length of the waiting list depends on various factors, such as available capacity in the operating rooms at various hospitals in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
The waiting list for this special surgery has been growing longer, and the COVID pandemic has extended the waiting list even further, prompting the search for a method to operate on patients more quickly.<\/p>\n
The establishment of the Diaphragm Center as an independent institute is the solution. The Diaphragm Center uses available operating room capacity at one of the hospitals in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
By reducing his workload at the Meander Medical Center, Dr. Welvaart can now treat you sooner, throughout the country.<\/p>\n
After you have attended the intake interview at the Diaphragm Center and the surgery has been scheduled, you will be placed on the waiting list. Surgeries can therefore take place throughout the Netherlands. The same arrangements apply to patients from abroad.<\/p>\n
This is a new way of working within surgical Netherlands, hopefully ensuring that you are treated as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
