Moreover, laparoscopic repair of MH could be even performed in an outpatient setting with excellent outcome (9). Additionally, hernia sac excision is not necessary (3), and the disadvantages of sac excision may include massive pneumomediastinum and potential injury to the lung, pericardium, or mediastinal structures (10).…”
