Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair of a hernia of Morgagni

J Laparoendosc Surg. 1996 Apr;6(2):131-3. doi: 10.1089/lps.1996.6.131.

Abstract

A hernia of Morgagni was successfully repaired laparoscopically by reducing the hernia, mobilizing the peritoneum around the perimeter of the defect, and stapling polypropylene mesh onto the surrounding fascia. This type of repair is technically easy and should give a high probability of success.
