Background:
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of primary laparoscopic repair of Morgagni hernia.
Methods:
In this retrospective study, a total of 12 patients (4 males, 8 females; mean age 56.5±14.9 years; range, 32 to 80 years) who underwent primary laparoscopic repair for Morgagni hernia between January 2014 and December 2019 were included. In all cases, the hernia sac was excised and the defect was repaired primarily with non-absorbable sutures.
Results:
All patients had excellent outcomes and were uneventfully discharged from the hospital after a mean length of hospital stay of 4.6±1.3 days (range, 3 to 7 days). No mortality, morbidity or recurrence were observed in any of the patients.
Conclusion:
The primary laparoscopic repair is an effective and safe approach to surgical repair for Morgagni hernia in experienced hands.
