Laparoscopic repair of a Morgagni hernia
1997
The authors present a case of laparoscopic repair of a symptomatic Morgagni hernia in an adult patient. The indication for surgery was based on symptoms of dyspnea and sensation of thoracic tightness. A tension-free closure of the defect using a Marlex® mesh was carried out. Recovery was quick and uneventful. One year after surgery, no complaints were noticed. Aetiology, diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
