Abstract

Morgagni’s hernia is a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, which represents only 3% of all diaphragmatic hernias. Herein, we report a case of a 28-year-old symptomatic female patient with Morgagni’s hernia who underwent a transabdominal surgery for hernia repair and mesh placement.

Keywords: Morgagni hernia; diaphragmatic hernia; mesh; symptomatic; transabdominal; transthoracic approach.
