“…Fig. 1 Laparoscopic view of a right-sided Morgagni defect with omentum and colon herniating into the chest A diagnosis of MH is strongly suspected if fine curvilinear or linear densities are seen within the mass [48][49][50][51][52]. Hounsfield units ranging from -80 to -120 suggest that the lesion is composed of fat [53].…”
Using modern surgical techniques including laparoscopy, repair of Morgagni hernia can be performed safely with a short hospital stay and with little morbidity or mortality.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
