Minimally Invasive Repair of Pediatric Morgagni Hernias Using Transfascial Sutures with Extracorporeal Knot Tying

Minimally invasive repair of Morgagni hernia - A multicenter case series.

Children may benefit from minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in the correction of Morgagni hernia (MH). The present study aims to evaluate the outcome of MIS through a multicenter study. National institutions that use MIS in the treatment of MH were included. Demographic, clinical and operative data were analyzed. Thirteen patients with MH (6 males) were operated using similar MIS technique (perc...

Morgagni hernia: technical variation in the laparoscopic treatment.

INTRODUCTION Morgagni hernia is a rare entity that accounts for 3-5% of diaphragmatic hernias. They are mostly asymptomatic and discovered incidentally.
