Laparoscopic repair of Morgagni′s hernia: An innovative approach

Abstract: Aim:To review our experience of laparoscopic repair of Morgagni's hernia (MH) using transfascial sutures.Materials and Methods:This is a retrospective review of patients presenting to the first author with the diagnosis of MH over a 15-year period. The variables analyzed included demographic data, clinical presentation, and operative details.Results:In all there were five male with a median age of 2 years. They were asymptomatic and MH was detected incidentally by observing an air-filled density in the right c… Show more
