Morgagni Hernia: Incidental Repair During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Abstract

Anterior diaphragmatic hernias are a relatively rare finding. They can occur on either side of the body. We diagnosed and treated a Morgagni hernia during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Presentation and management of Morgagni hernias in adults: a review of 298 cases

“…Cholecystectomy, Nissen fundoplication, paraesophageal hernia repair, gastrectomy, abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) have been performed simultaneously with MH repair [17,61,[72][73][74][75][76]. Successful repair during pregnancy also has been reported.…”

A simple technique of laparoscopic full-thickness anterior abdominal wall repair of retrosternal (Morgagni) hernias

“…Numerous approaches to their repair have been described over the years, ranging from open procedures to minimally invasive techniques. The laparoscopic approach may be abdominal [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] or thoracic. 10 The defect itself may be closed either by primary sutured closure, 5,9 primary placement of a mesh, 7 or by a combination of both.…”

Volvulus gastrique: diagnostic et prise en charge thérapeutique

“…La ré plé tion gastrique et les vomissements ré pé té s peuvent favoriser la survenue d'un volvulus gastrique [25,30]. En effet, un estomac atone, en ré plé tion pivote plus aisé ment qu'un estomac vide puisque la face posté rieure tend à basculer en avant, rapprochant le pylore du cardia, favorisant ainsi la premiè re é tape du volvulus [8].…”

“…Certains facteurs locoré gionaux d'hyperpression abdominale peuvent favoriser la rotation gastrique, tels que les grossesses multiples, l'obé sité , un morphotype bré viligne, un prostatisme et la bronchite chronique [30]. …”
