  • Title: Laparoscopic Morgagni hernia repair: how I do it.
    Author: Park A, Doyle C.
    Journal: J Gastrointest Surg; 2014 Oct; 18(10):1858-62. PubMed ID: 24898515.
    Abstract:
    Surgical repair of Morgagni hernias is recommended given their historically high risk of incarceration. Traditionally, such repair has been undertaken via laparotomy or thoracotomy or more recently, thoracoscopically or laparoscopically using mesh. Here, we describe a laparoscopic approach to the management of Morgagni hernias achieving a primary tissue repair without mesh implantation. This technique allows for the general benefits of minimally invasive surgery, such as less postoperative pain, reduced wound complications, decreased duration of the hospital stay, as well as offering an alternative to mesh implantation and its associated potential complications.
