The relative frequency of these different forms is tricky to evaluate because
a) Usage differs in Tw and the mainland.
b) Google results are skewed because of the Japanese word 横隔膜.
So I used "site:.cn" to filter out the Japanese results.

I found
1) Simp form
- 横膈膜 has far more support in PRC dicts than 横隔膜
(e.g. NC, NA and GF have 横膈膜, but not 横隔膜)
- 横膈膜 has about 5x as many results, using GV with "site:.cn"

2) Trad form
- TP uses only 橫隔膜, not 橫膈膜
- However, Tw dicts mostly prefer 橫膈膜 (Dr.eye, M, LA). Only GR has 橫隔膜.
- And GV results slightly favour 橫膈膜 over 橫隔膜.

Conclusion:
We should remove "also written 橫隔膜|横隔膜[heng2 ge2 mo2]" since that implies 横隔膜 is the preferred form, which is not the case (esp. on the mainland).

-------------------------

Also, "diaphragm" has several senses, so we should add (anatomy).
Diff:
- 橫膈膜 横膈膜 [heng2 ge2 mo2] /diaphragm/also written 橫隔膜|横隔膜[heng2 ge2 mo2]/
+ 橫膈膜 横膈膜 [heng2 ge2 mo2] /diaphragm (anatomy)/
- 橫隔膜 横隔膜 [heng2 ge2 mo2] /diaphragm/
+ 橫隔膜 横隔膜 [heng2 ge2 mo2] /diaphragm (anatomy)/
