Morgagni hernias in Children

Treatment of Morgagni Hernias by Transabdominal Approach

Issue: 
Synopsis: 
Surgical approach - thoracal or abdominal – to Morgagni hernias is controversial. In the authors' experience, the abdominal approach was successful. Its advantages are, feasibility in reducing intra-abdominal organs, ability to operate on bilateral hernias, no chest tube placement and little or no pulmonary complications.

ABSTRACT

Subjects and Methods: Records of five cases of Morgagni hernias were evaluated with respect to age, presentation, operative data, complications, and outcome.
