Abstract
Morgagni hernias are anomalies of the sternal insertions of the diaphragmatic bundles and represent 1% to 4% of all surgically treated diaphragmatic hernias. We present a case of a laparoscopic repair of Morgagni hernia incidentally found in a 4-year-old boy. Primary laparoscopic closure of the defect with interrupted silk sutures was performed. The patient had uneventful recovery and is asymptomatic at 2 months of follow-up. We propose that the laparoscopic approach is feasible and effective treatment of this kind of hernia.Keywords
