Morgagni Hernia is a rare form of diaphragmatic hernia. It is mainly asymptomatic and often identified incidentally during surgery. Tension-free synthetic mesh repair is the preferred treatment modality. However, the use of synthetic mesh concurrently during a clean-contaminated surgery such as sleeve gastrectomy remains controversial due to the remote possibility of mesh infection. A middle-ag...

Morgagni-Larrey hernia is uncommon congenital disease in the adults and presents with mild to severe clinical symptoms. In literature, about 80% of Morgagni -Larrey hernia are found on the right side of the chest cavity and have usually a peritoneal sack. Only 2-3% of patients at birth are symptomatic and therefore eligible for urgent surgery. Less severe forms of the disease are characterized ...

The parasternal defect, or Morgagni hernia, may not be as rare as previous authors have stated. Brown (1952) gives its incidence as 3 % of diaphragmatic defects, and Harrington (1951) in a review of 334 cases of diaphragmatic hernia found it in 14 only. In the mass radiography units at Portsmouth and Southampton 30 cases have been picked up and a further three cases have been found in patients ...

Laparoscopic repair of a Morgagni hernia is a well-described technique in children or adults who present well beyond the neonatal period. However, it is still most often being repaired by an open approach. This repair can be more challenging when a concomitant infectious process is present, which in this case was a perforated appendicitis. A 22-year-old man presented with typical appendicitis b...

Multiple different types of anterior mediastinal masses may be encountered on computed tomography (CT) imaging, and many of these lesions are neoplastic in etiology. These include masses arising from the thymus, thyroid and parathyroid glands, as well as lymph nodes, pericardium, and vessels and nerves. Often, the CT attenuation of the mass can be helpful in narrowing down the differential diag...

The distinguished anatomist and physician Giovanni Batt ista Morgagni (1682-1771) published his major work, De sedibus et causis morborum per anatomen indagatis (The seats and causes of diseases investigated by anatomy) , in 1761 , at the age of 79. This work , which was printed in Venice by the famous publishing house Remondini, is considered to be the foundation of modern pathology [1,2] . It...

In this report, we present the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of three pediatric patients who presented to our clinic with congenital Morgagni hernia were treated laparoscopic surgery using only mesh.
