“…The patient is placed in reverse Trendelenburg position and three to five ports are placed with an orientation similar to that for a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication or other upper abdominal surgery. It is important not to place trocars too close to the costal margin [94]. Management of the hernia sac has already been discussed.…”

“…Laparoscopic repair is favored in adults especially in non-acute cases. Richardson describes it as a new method of repairing CMH, with improvements in laparoscopic hernia treatment allowing for shorter recovery times than open surgery [13].…”

Congenital herniation through the foramen Morgagni — clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment in pediatric population

AbstractCongenital Morgagni hernia is a rare entity, accounting for less than 1,5% of all types of congenital diaphragmatic hernias. The majority of Morgagni hernias are diagnosed late because patients can be asymptomatic or present with non-specific respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms and signs. The medical records of all patients diagnosed with CMH and treated in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed for age at diagnosis, sex, site of hernia, clinical symptoms, associated anomalies, operative findings and treatment. Over a 20-year period, 5 cases with CMH diagnoses were hospitalized and operated. The age of diagnosis ranged from nine months to 11 years. Male to female ratio was 3:2. Associated anomalies were seen in 2 patients (40%). Most patients had transabdominal operations. There were no complications in the postoperative period. Morgagni hernia is a rare condition. The rarity is due to the nonspecific presentation of symptoms, which contributes to a delay in diagnosis. We advocate surgical repair even in asymptomatic patients, because of the risk of strangulation. There is a low rate of complications.

“…However, cases have been reported outside this age group, usually in adults with non-specific or no symptoms (5,(11)(12)(13). In Spain, the frequency (14) of a hernia or diaphragmatic agenesis diagnosis in the first three days of life was reported to be 2.…”

“…Most published cases of MH and BH diagnosis and repair are in children, with only 5 per cent being reported in adults (12). Although a diaphragmatic dysgenesis is widely considered to be the origin of CDH, only 10 per cent of CDH patients were found to have chromosomal anomalies (17).…”

Bochdalek hernias (BHs) are produced in the posterolateral area of the diaphragm. They are generally congenital, appearing in childhood, but are also detected in asymptomatic adult patients seeking medical attention for other reasons. Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used for the correct diagnosis of the hernia type and for its localization, facilitating its management and the choice of treatment. We describe three cases of Bochdalek hernia, two on the right side and one bilateral, which was larger on the right than left side. All of these hernias contained only omental fat. In one patient, the right kidney was adjacent to the diaphragmatic defect but remained within the abdomen. The patients showed no symptoms and were not surgically treated. Examination by multislice CT with the possibility of coronal and sagittal reconstruction should be considered the standard method for diagnosing this entity. MRI in T1 is highly valuable to evaluate fat-containing chest lesions. The incidental finding of BH in asymptomatic adults is increasing, thanks to the wider application of new imaging techniques.
