“…Some authors advocate transthoracic approach [38] or transabdominal approach [39], while others advocate video-assisted thoracoscopic [40] or laparoscopic techniques [5, 41]. Transthoracic approach provides wide exposure and easy repair of hernia sac in Morgagni hernia [38].…”

Congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDHs) occur mainly in two locations: the foramen of Morgagni and the more common type involving the foramen of Bochdalek. Hiatal hernia and paraesophageal hernia have also been described as other forms of CDH. Pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary hypoplasia have been recognized as the two most important factors in the pathophysiology of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Advances in surgical management include delayed surgical approach that enables preoperative stabilization, introduction of fetal intervention due to improved prenatal diagnosis, the introduction of minimal invasive surgery, in addition to the standard open repair, and the use of improved prosthetic devices for closure.

“…Laparoscopic reduction, repair with nonabsorbable suture or mesh [15,16], or thoracoscopic repair has also been described with successful outcome with shorter hospital stay. Addition of tube or percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) to "fix" the stomach to anterior abdominal wall in its native location has also been tried in order to prevent recurrence of gastric volvulus.…”

“…[9,10] In the era of minimally invasive surgery; thoracic video-assisted endoscopic surgery or laparoscopy have started to be used in the repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernias with superior functional outcomes, shorter operative and hospitalization days. [11,12] Two cases of elderly patients with mild gastrointestinal and pulmonary functions, who were diagnosed with MH, are reported in this study. It is aimed to discuss the efficacy of laparoscopic approach with review of the literature.…”

Morgagni hernia is a congenital, retrosternally situated, diaphragmatic defect usually seen on the right, but which may also affect the left side. It is very rare in adulthood and old age. As result of developing techniques in laparoscopy, congenital diaphragmatic hernia can now be repaired with minimally invasive means. Presently described are cases of 2 elderly female patients with subtle abdominal symptoms incidentally diagnosed with Morgagni hernia after abdominal computed tomography scan. Both patients were operated on using minimally invasive approach and laparoscopic repair was performed with synthetic material reinforcement in both cases. Patients were discharged after uneventful postoperative period. In conclusion, laparoscopic repair can be performed safely in selected cases at centers experienced in advanced laparoscopy.
